Own composition

[henrah]

Wrote and performed it for my Music AS Level. A couple of fluffs here and there, and a couple of places I could (and can now) play better; and those darned trills - still trying to get the D louder than the Eb to keep it on the beat.

Anyway, all I can hope is that you enjoy it. More recordings might come along (an edited performance maybe, for my perfection characteristic)... we'll see

Wondefully thought out 1st movement. Still looking forwards to the second.

love the 1st/2nd/ subjects. beautifull, perfect modulations

second movement make it intence (no break) let it run into a troublesome period,give it drama. 3rd movement supprise me

Cheers for the advice Gorbee! Unfortunately the piece is progressing quite slowly, as it is now in my free time and not forced on me by school (I have already handed in this recording and the score for marking), which means that it requires my own will power and motivation - and that comes along as randomly as stevie.


It's odd how I seem to work at my best under pressure, and quite close to deadlines. It's the thought of "Can't do it later, must do it now!" that gets me into 'the zone.' One example of this is when one weekend I wrote an essay for music on Schubert's Du Bist Die Ruh and Die Forelle (on whether the piano part is an accompaniment or instrument of equal value to the singer), to hand in on the Tuesday (not even Monday) and it was crap. Then an essay came up on Haydn's Fifths Quartet, and I finished most of it the hour before the lesson. I got an A, one mark off full. :S:S

I shall post here again if anything does come about (hopefully between tues and thurs, then I can practice when and as long as I like! w00t)

The switch from minor to majoy keys in between the trills are great. For some of the D and Eb, you can raise an octave to the treble or drop an octave to the base from the original positions which may enhance the overall dynamic. The back and forth moves will give you the tendency of playing the notes louder on the pivot beats. The feels of Rachmaninoff style are expressed truly well which you used of 1 and 4# major 7 chords. In the second section, some Ewok marching themes in parallel melody curves from Star Wars appear that favor my taste much. The middle section sounds like the "counting stars" variations by Mozart. The place, where it's 4:30 of the audio, sounds like the modern Presto performance and should be developed a bit more before moving to the next musical topic. Close to the end, the four sets of chords remind me of the first movement of Beethoven's 5th symphony with a phenomenal finish. It's very impressive that I can heard the recombionations of the stuffs from the famous classical composers, maybe you'll be one of them someday in the future.

Wow thanks Tucker, I never realised how much I was actually subconciously inspired!
