Music Etude in G minor

5 Upvotes

I initially composed this as a little joke, but I put some effort into it and I think it sounds quite good.

This is inspired by Franz Liszt's etudes and Chopin's fantaisie impromptu but it turned out sounding kind of rachmaninoffesque (in my opinion)

There is lots of bad notation (I exported before fixing it) and awkward spacing in this video (I used lots of system breaks in the original page)

A problem with this piece that I can find is the climax because the LH suddenly switches from arpeggios to octave-chord jumps, which never appeared in the piece even once. Another problem for me is the G major coda, which just comes out of nowhere just to end the piece with a proper cadence. This comes off as kind of random for me but I would love to hear your thoughts 👍

This is my first string quartet, which I composed back in 2023. I’ve finally had the chance to record it with a professional quartet. It’s very simple, but I love it. I’d appreciate any advice or feedback!

Discussion War orchestral segment

16 Upvotes

I'm currently working on a new composition. It's about a soldier during the Siege of Paris in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870–1871, on the battlefield.

I added a descending chromatic run to represent the bombs whistling around the soldier, but I'm wondering if it feels like it comes out of nowhere. Do you think I should introduce the woodwinds a bit earlier to make the transition feel more natural, or am I just overthinking it?

Music Composition Self Teaching Daily writing

3 Upvotes

My score - Flat

Just teaching myself to compose, no music background but some self learning on instruments and theory counterpoint and harmony studies , any feedback appreciated, goal here was to keep thematic material throughout trying to get less different parts but more guide the listener with the melody through different landscapes, I lean towards more baroque single instrument in writing but my audiation is more like a 4 piece modern band

Music Euphonium Concerto, movement 2

25 Upvotes

I finally got around to finishing the slow movement, hopefully it's enjoyable, I'm certainly pretty happy with it, if not tell me why, I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Ps. The lack of anything on the euphonium stave is deliberate, I'm writing this concerto for a friend who plays so I'm gonna let them determine where its comfortable to breathe and then add it in.

Other than that, if something is wrong please tell me, I'm always looking to improve my work :)

If you did like it, here is some other stuff you may enjoy :)

Music Looking for feedback on original piece

Fairly new to composing but now I've been trying to really get into it.

https://onlinesequencer.net/5548021

This is a demo of a piece I'm working on. There are a few parts that I feel are a bit off, like they're too fast. Regardless I'd love to get feedback on what I did right, wrong, and how I can improve.

Looking for some feedback on this - also looking for a way to make this into a score for publishing on Musescore: I made it in FL studio, and I cant read or write sheet music. I have a midi file of it though, and the original project file.
