Self-composition - Prelude No. 1
on: June 22, 2005, 07:04:06 PM
Hey guys,
I've decided to start working on composition in-addition-to/with my piano studies (hey, why not?). I would greatly appreciate any comments.
Thanks,
llhyperdude

Wow, that was pretty good. The ending didn't seem right to me, but I'm not a professional

First thing that stands out to me is how short this is. At only 30 seconds, I have trouble imaging you're developing your theme as much as you could. It seems like a good start, but it's incomplete.

I agree, it doesn't seem like a complete piece, more like an opening. I think you should develop what you have here much more, and lead it into a number of contrasting sections before you even think about finishing it off. It's an excellent start, but unfortunately is only a start. 30 seconds just isn't long enough for a piece IMHO.

I tend to agree with the others. The sound is very good but I wanted it go on much longer.

I thought the progression was really interesting, gotta give you credit for that. It seemed a little rigid though, I would really like to hear a less "busy" section to complement the stated material.
I may be way off, here, But the timing was really inflexible, Was this recording performed on a keyboard? It sounds either Quantized or programmed in step time. If not, then you have a definite skill in holding a quarter-beat

OMG put this on a harpsichord and it would fit perfectly into a castlevania game! And that's not an insult because I love the music from castlevania ^^ Honestly it's nice but a bit narrow in its ideas. It really ought to have been expanded, but I still enjoyed it =)

i dont think its incomplete..after all..it is a PRELUDE..lets get off the resolution fixation people..this is how new ideas are born..or how old ideas are ressurected..i really like it...i agree on that castlevania comment...
busyness isnt always a bad thing..to me..this piece should accompany something..like a video game..short film..animation...thats the only incompletion i feel from it...

A nifty little prelude- particularly if it's your first attempt at writing.

I really liked it, but like many others, I felt that it was too short and ended far too abruptly.
