"Fantasia Infernale"
on: February 27, 2011, 07:13:21 PM
My mood of yesterday :) I don't really know what to call an impro like this, it's certainly not a prelude, impromptu might do but I'm getting seriously sick of using anything that starts with "impro"..So a fantasy but maybe it is the beginning of some larger dark gothic work, who knows?
I must say I like like very much to have found this Improvisations-board, you can learn much from other people's music here, and it's not so rigid as the audition room :) Suits me.
I must say with this piece I feel that if modern classical music could be x-rated then this would certainly qualify :)

I sometimes have difficulty with the term improvisation myself, even though that is a good description. I like the thought of spontaneous composition, or impulses in that direction, but I cannot be satisfied with that for it never seems worthy. Now Fantasia...that is a very good and descriptive term. 

This sounds like a prelude to something bigger, and it could go either direction...a violent eruption, or a tranquil meditation. That would be the after effect of a turbulent episode.

I enjoy your stuff!

I like this piece. I'm not very good at commenting music, but I like the simple structure and the low chords accompannying the melody. There is more I like about it, of course, but I can't put it into words.

I'm not sure if it actually ain't the lower octaves that are singing melody here, at least for the most part of it :)

Yeah, well, I'm not sure either, but I'm getting tired of writing just "I like it." all the time.
