Sonata_5 Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 What do I name this piece? Is it a polka? The title says nocturne in ab major but that was a previous piece and for some reason it is showing up on the title but what do I name this? I haven’t finished it yet PDF Nocturne in ab major Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Ng Tsz Kiu Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 Hi @Sonata_5, I think you should name it after you finish the piece as you never know what will happen during composing! But I think a polka will be a great name with that distinctive rhythm. Henry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriel Carlisle Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 Depends if your after a more modern taste or traditional taste. I normally name mine with traditional names then a subtitle sometimes. For example for one of the pieces I’m working on right now is called: Symphonic Miniature No. 3 in B Minor “Winter Storm” Or sometimes a much larger work has the name while the individual pieces have traditional names. This is another work I’m also working on: “Nocturnes pour le Romantique“ Nocturne No. 1 in E Major Nocturne No. 2 in C# Minor Nocturne No. 3 in A flat Major anyways hope this helps! Also I agree with Henry that finishing your piece first then naming is best unless it’s within a much larger structure. Hope it all goes well 🙂 -Gabriel Carlisle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
