Nocturne no. 9 - Original composition

[francoisfj]

Hello, this is a nocturne I composed some time ago, this time it's me playing it (there are a lot of hesitations and some mistakes) I hope you like it, and would be happy to hear your thoughts of it

Hi Fracoisfj..

Very nice..  The odd and changing meter is effective - giving a certain sense of unpredictability  to the melodic phrasing… I liked your sense of harmonic tension.. Sometimes i  felt the melody could have been more 'ambiguous' at the cadences - so as not to reinforce what the harmony has already implied… (do you know what I mean?)… I guess something like a suspension (melodically) instead of something more resolute…  I didn't mind the cuts/edits - but the end sounded like midi produced and quantized. Also, the ending (compositionally) doesn't to my ear seem to work with the rest of the piece.. Or perhaps it is just too Sudden of an ending… Thank you for posting…I enjoyed it…
ps… Perhaps you are already aware, but there was  an octave shift in one spot of the melody that wasn't reflected in the score..

I really loved this nocturne... but I, too, found the ending out of place.  I went back and replayed the last minute so see if my ears missed something.

Thank you both a lot! themeandvariation I know what you mean by something less resolute, it's true, in places it would sound better with longer sections. As for the ending, I might change, it might sound better if not played by a software, but it's not exactly what I wanted anyway
And it's true there's a change in octaves written incorrectly in the score!
