Short piano piece, first original composition.

[oscarr111111]

Just 16 bars, I wrote this to practice using harmonic minor keys and developing motifs.  Its really short and not probably not well designed (after the first 8 bars I threw theory to the wind and started writing by ear), in terms of this kind of thing I only really know the basics of classical harmony and what sounds right/wrong.  There is a key change after bar 8 from the diminished chord as well I think (I originally intended to stay in C#m, but I had to add some accidentals after that point to get it to sound how I felt it should and it resolves onto a different tonic, F#m I think? was a few days ago I wrote it).

Not really planning to develop it any further, perhaps it'll entertain someone a little though.  If you notice anything obvious that could help me in future feel free to point it out.

[term]

the end sounds like it really begins there...you could add a fast part there with both hands having a dialogue (or devoloping the theme to a real dialogue between higher and lower voice).

even if it's simple, not bad.

[the coker variations]

kinda cool sounding, but like term said the end does sound like your about to get into it... other then that keep it up

[counterpoint]

Surprisingly good, there is much potential to make a bigger (=longer) piece out of it.
Perhaps there could be some additional polyphonic voices in the continuation.
And I wouldn't use these simple triads as cadenza, they don't fit very well to the style of the piece.

Thanks for the feedback, perhaps I'll develop it some more then.  Will have to wait a bit though, lots of revision for exams and practice for other projects on right now.  My piano composition is somewhat limited by my technical ability too.
