I am rather attracted to your three pieces. It isn't an uncommon idiom but there is something different in how you go about it. As yet I cannot entirely pinpoint what it is. Firstly, your sense of rhythm is somewhat more acute than that of many similar. Secondly, you don't thump. Thirdly, you have taken pains to write this improvisational sounding stuff out, which isn't easy. Fourthly, although the harmonies are simple, there are bits where their juxtaposition is quite unusual and effective.

About the only suggestion I have is that I would like to hear you expand into rhythms and textures outside the familial resemblance of these three.

ummm...two weeks? I mean the music develops over time, and when I think I have a full song in my head, it takes about two weeks to finalize it on sheet music. sometimes it takes a few days, depending on how complicated the song is. Thanks!

haha, well most of that I get! Thanks alot. And I definetely am trying to expand and change the sound. alot of modern composers really like to rehash themselves over and over. I don;t want to follow in that direction. And yes, turning a song from improv and ideas to a true composition is quite annoying, yet fruitful. :)

Poems of Ecstasy – Scriabin’s Complete Piano Works Now on Piano Street

The great early 20th-century composer Alexander Scriabin left us 74 published opuses, and several unpublished manuscripts, mainly from his teenage years – when he would never go to bed without first putting a copy of Chopin’s music under his pillow. All of these scores (220 pieces in total) can now be found on Piano Street’s Scriabin page. Read more
