panta rei Posted January 30 Posted January 30 Here is a short piece, which I wrote recently. It is in a Chopin-like style. I have not made any pedal indications, because most musicians would probably want to decide on this themselves. But I could add them of course. I would be very interested to learn what you think of the piece. MP3 Play / pause JavaScript is required. 0:00 0:00 volume > next menu Valse melancholique > next PDF Valse melancholique 2 Quote
Finish the Sextet Posted February 1 Posted February 1 Hi @panta rei, I think this one is really graceful and a bit sad with the F minor. I especially like the counterpoint you have in the middle passages when you let both the soprano and alto to take the melodic lead. The harmony in b.41-50 sounds very nice. For me I think maybe the middle section stays a bit too long on B flat minor, but that’s personal. Thx for sharing! Henry Quote

I am actually quite satisfied with this piece, but I have been thinking about your comment regarding the middle section. I don´t think that it is too long, but there may be a need for some structural changes. I don´t have a good alternative for the moment, but I will try to find a better solution. Best regards.

MJFOBOE Posted February 7 Posted February 7 Charming .............. reminds me of music by Michel Legrand. Mark Quote
Luis Hernández Posted February 8 Posted February 8 a delicate and very beautiful piece maybe it would be nice to break the fixed rhythm of the left hand a little bit, but these are personal decisions Quote
panta rei Posted February 12 Author Posted February 12 Thank you Mark and Louis for your comments. I think, Louis, that the fixed waltz rhythm is OK, but I always have a problem with electronic playback. The third beat in the 3/4 rhythm is often too strong (or rather, there is a lack of variation in sound strength). Also,some rubato here and there could be beneficial. Quote Quote
