I wrote a waltz with B3 in every bar...

Hey everyone,

While I've been quite busy with university during the past year, I've started uploading some of my compositions to a YouTube channel, which I think better presents my music as a score-audio combo. They're all still computer renditions, but I hope to begin uploading my own performances these next few months (including of other works, mainly Scriabin).

Here's a waltz that I originally wrote for one of those community-organised composition challenges on MuseScore, in which it was required that a note be repeated at least once in every bar of a piece. I ended up bestowing upon it the nickname "Waltz of the B(ee)s" for that reason and gave the score to my music teacher as a gift. Among all of my pieces, I think this is the one I'm closest to recording myself, so I'll update this thread when I'm ready!

This was so amazing to listen to! I listened to some of your other videos from YouTube too and I love so much your style of composing. So amazing that you composed this as a challenge! 

The piano also sounds really great, is it one of the pianos from MusesScore? Which one is it? 

Thank you so much for sharing!

Thank you Jorge!

I think I'm still trying to find my compositional style (which is a lifelong pursuit), but I think I've settled on what I'd consider a palatable mixture of Late Romantic/neoclassical/jazz (?) influences.

The piano soundfont is the free Spitfire Labs Autograph Grand. I occasionally find that the Autograph Grand is a bit too bass-heavy and rather quiet in the upper registers, but it does an okay job; one that performs better higher up is the Labs Soft Piano, which I also sometimes use.

Wow... this is so refined and smooth. I love your style. Your phrasing is admirable, and nothing seems out of place. You're quite the composer!

Hi @林家興, (Don't ask me why I can type Chinese LoL!!)

This one is quite enjoyable to listen to. It's funny and light-hearted waltz. Even though it's a easier dominant B it would still need some skills to incorporate that note to every bar without making the piece forceful and unnatural, so congrats for that. Thx for sharing.

The title was misleading, to me.

I kept waiting for a Hammond B3 to be heard in the arrangement, but alas... 

lol

Honestly, this is really incredible. If I was a teacher, and my student gave me this, I would be beyond proud. This piece is ... it's a classic! Infectious, and feels effortless. It reminds me of Le Festin from Ratatouille, in spirit. It has that same carefree, good-natured, "magical" vibe to it.

Thanks for sharing, this was awesome.
