Hey, Please could you look over my composition and suggest improvements :)) Thanks so much; I'd really appreciate it! DoYourDailyDuo Rondo in f minor 21 Feb.mid Rondo in f minor 21 Feb.mid

Hi, this is a side piece that I've worked on whilst I work on the revision for the Alula Variations (I love doing reworks on a 30 mins piece's score hahaha....). I chose bassoon and flute because I kinda wanted to write a chamber piece and write for bassoon. I also like the vibe of the OST. So yeah, hope you enjoy!

Arabian Hungarian Tango revised.midArabian Hungarian Tango revised - 完整总谱.pdf No idea how to come up with a good second theme. Don't know what style it could be.

Hey guys... Im bad about prematurely sharing things. Sure, it was mostly finished before, but I felt it was missing something. The key is now written in D Minor (my favorite key tbh), and I added a bridge section to it as well. It felt too repetitive to me, honestly without something to break the pattern... Let me know what y'all think? 🙂

A small piece that I recently reviewed. Maybe someone will like it.

This is not the current version - See the new post here for the most updated version, with new context.

Hi everyone, I’m new here! I’ve seen a few other pieces of music shared here, and it seems like the perfect place for me to join in. I’m a French student, and I’ve spent 12 years studying piano at a conservatory. Recently, I’ve started composing, and I feel confident enough about what I’ve created to share it with you. Right now, I don’t have anyone around for active listening, so I have no idea how to assess the quality of my compositions. I’d really appreciate honest feedback (whether it’s theoretical or just based on your feelings) to understand where I stand and how I can improve. I hope you will feel as much emotion listening to it as I did composing it 😀 Thank you in advance for your time and your insights!

Hiiii! I'm back!!!!!!!! This time I wanted to share with you a modal practice my teacher asked for!! Hope you like it! Ejercicio No 13 1.mp3 Ejercicio No 13 1.pdf

So i wrote this rondo a while back in late classical era style. the form is ABCBA which is the exact form of mozart alla turka rondo.

Saigai Go.pdf Sg.mp3 This is a piece that was originally Edin's Piano solo composition. With his direct approval, I wanted to give it some color, and this is what I came up with 🙂 It may be rough around the edges in terms of its grammatical correctness, as I wrote this one some months ago, as I were re-learning things in the music theory realm of things. Go easy on meh I was rusteh xD

Lamentation.pdf 20854795.mp3 Here's a piece that I wrote recently named "Lamentation". It features a Mixed group of instruments that include those found in Concert Bands commonly, a standard group of strings, limited percussionists, and a Piano. It was written to represent some of the feelings I've been dealing with in my life, through the last 4-5 years, given how roughly things have progressed in my recent life. Long story I won't bore you with. But nevertheless, this was, in my opinion, the best way to express those emotions and frustrations without using words, and I feel I hit the ball out of the park, in terms of encompassing that. I'd love to know what the community thinks. 🙂

First post in a looooooong time. Some background on the piece is in video description. All constructive feedback is welcome. Nga Mihi, Arjuna P.S. I'd like to thank our very own @Henry Ng Tsz Kiu for the recording.

Hi, today my music "Cranes Are Inside U" was released on YouTube, most of which is played on the piano, and I am very worried if people who really like piano works will listen to it. Please tell me how to help them discover my music.

Hello. My chronological journey of music brought me to Romanticism, in which I have been immersed for months. I study its methods, harmonies, etc... And that has led me to study also the neo-Riemannian theory, since many chord progressions are explained through it. I write some things practicing these concepts. This Consolation III (as there were two others already) is very much inspired by Liszt's, in its structure and some resources. I have also based it on a pop song whose harmony is fantastic. You have to absorb from all sources....

Hi ! I've composed this piano piece entitled 'Le Piano Suspendu'. When I was composing this piece I realized it was like if the music wanted to tell a story. Do you feel that too while listening?

I've been taking something of a hiatus from classical music recently. I haven't had any big ideas to go off of when it comes to big orchestral works or even smaller chamber ensemble pieces; I've also wanted to compose small songs/do piano covers/write jazz pieces for quite some time now, and I figured it's about as good a time as any to just get on with it while I rest the classical side of my composing output for now. Don't worry (in case you are 😉), I'm sure I'll come back to it eventually. The piece below is one of my first attempts at writing in a distinctly alternative, non-classical musical language since I first started writing music two and a half years ago. I've been asked by a friend to write some pieces for his student film, and he asked specifically for an 'upbeat jazz'... thing to accompany a scene he plans on filming a couple of months from now. I decided to work with a jazz trio that consists of a drumset, piano, and acoustic guitar (since he planned on having the school band play the piece). I've made an effort to focus more on rhythmic drive and the 'groove' of the piece instead of melody or harmony, and I'm curious if anything here could be considered 'jazzy' at all, or if it's just a jumble of discordant sounds that merely assume the semblance of jazz improvisation. I'm quite unsure of this new writing style, so any constructive criticism is welcome. Hoping to hear from everybody! 😁 Note: the .mp3 only goes up to 1:42, since I haven't finished the piece. There should be a couple more minutes of music after that. Addendum: I've finished the piece! It's gone all the way up to nearly 6 minutes, but I'm pretty happy with how it's turned out. I've attached the files here as 'funkalicious' (aptly titled) for easier viewing. Special thanks to @Thatguy v2.0 for sticking along for the journey! I'm very grateful you were there to give me advice on maxing out the funk here 🙌

I've stitched together a few melodies I've come up with while improvising the last two days. I'll notate the next version in musescore and produce the audio in FL Studio, but this is basically just a quick rough draft. I don't have a title yet and I'm not set on the final structure so feel free to give suggestions. I also want to make the left hand more flowy in some places, but without clashing with the melody. https://flat.io/score/66929dc1b395c51c02ac86cf-my-music-score?sharingKey=98cac817028336424b11d90cc66fa77cd45d5e30e50203c06577a8bc91100bb9750be725c131fc4335ff3112b110adb3639cee49094807e58474a443e83f5148

Hello everyone! Yesterday I was considering participating in the 1 minute Fugue challenge that has been opened recently so I started composing a 1 minute fugue. However, since I only had a few hours I did not give it too much though and started composing by ear (without theoretical thinking) with the first subject. I decided I wanted to have a real answer in the exposition and that was a mistake. Because of the real answer, It is quite dissonant at times with some suspensions as soon as the real answer starts, so it probably does not work as a proper fugue exposition. Because of that, I was going to call it "Strange Fughetta", but I just though the title might be funnier (for me) in Spanish. So I named it "Allochthonous Little Fugue" (I just found out the word Allochthonous exist in english too). The Fughetta form is the following: [m.1 ~ m.15]: Alto voice in Cmin --> Soprano voice in Gmin (real answer) -> Episode --> Bass in Cmin. [m.16 ~ m.19]: Canonic episode based in few motives of the subject. [m.20 ~ m.23] Subject in Cmin (tonic) by the Soprano with dominant pedal in Bass. [m.24 ~ m.29]: Ending Thank you!

This is a Romantic-era styled piano piece with a bit of Bądarzewska-Baranowska's "The Maiden's Prayer," a hint of Paul de Senneville's "Mariage d'Amour," and a dash of Chopin for good measure. This dance depicts two roses, personified as lovers, making a final dance (the title is French for "The Last Dance of the Roses") before departing forever. However, the rose couple finds a last tear of joy as they depart, as if ultimately content to spend their long years together, hence the happy ending.

Hello I haven't uploaded anything here for some time. Too busy in what is actually my job.... But I have been studying (and continue...) the harmonic, and compositional world in general, of Romanticism. Which is fascinating. I really encourage anyone interested in composition to seriously study the resources of each period. We can always, always improve. So I am uploading this piece, after reviewing some Romantic works with that title.... I hope you like it. By the way, although I have hundreds of "works" written, I am discarding, reclassifying and renumbering from Op. 1, not caring if it is something written now or years ago, as long as it has some value to me.

Hello everyone, I want to share the second Bagatelle I composed. It is a slow tempo Bagatelle in E minor for the piano. Most of my pieces are in a moderate tempo and in major so I wanted to test myself once by composing a slow piece that stays for the whole time in minor. As my previous Bagatelle, I composed it and played it myself in a Yamaha P-515 digital piano with the Yamaha CFX piano sound. I might have composed some parts differently but, when things got too hard for me to play, I had to simplify them to my level. I did record it with the phone so it has a lot noise and the quality is not good. Also, I made a couple of mistakes here and there but this was the best I could play it. I plan to practice it and record it with better quality but it might take some time. The piece is in ternary form with the main theme (A) in Emin and a second theme (B) in Bmin. The B theme is restated in the home key (Eminor) before going back to the repetition of the A theme. Since the tempo is slow and the themes themselves quite long there are no repeats in any section. Any comment and feedback is more than welcome! Thank you for listening and hope you enjoy it!

Hello, I want to share my piano piece that I was inspired to write out of the blue a few days ago. I liked the tune in my head, so I spent about an hour and 20 minutes composing this piece in my Finale: harmony, reverb, and all. I’m overall glad with the result, and find the highlights of my piece are the heavy chords measure in the middle section close and the more elaborate variation of the first theme in the last section. Do tell me your thoughts on my piece, and enjoy!(:
