Etude No. 1 (Original composition) ABRSM LEVEL 500

[pencilart3]

Some wrong notes but you get the point. I usually warm up with an original piece like this. It hurts. It's hard. There's some wrong notes. But it's so fun to play. haha Yes, I have been listening to too much Liszt lately, and yes, that last C is the highest note on the piano.

P.S. It's probably ~ level 7 or 7/8 abrsm.

Well this "Etude" certaintly doesn't glorify God; nor does it refresh my soul 

[chopinlover01]

Very cool.
I have quite a few pieces being written at the moment but I'm too lazy to record them..
Anyone want some scores?


(they're actually not in software yet lol but whatever)

[swagmaster420x]

I think your etude is cool too doe 

[pencilart3]

@Chopinlover and dcstudio Thanks for the kind words And Chopinlover I would if I wasn't so busy preparing for MTNA and the smaller competition here. I only learned this piece because it is part of my warm up routine

What about it?

Well this "Etude" certaintly doesn't glorify God; nor does it refresh my soul

If you're not going to be encouraging about my 2nd composition ever, please shut up and go away. And the only reason I don't talk about glorifying God all the time is because I have good friends here such as chopinlover that don't really like to talk about that stuff. Every note I play is in hopes that it will bring even a small smile to God's face.

[chopinlover01]

@Noah Well, if you ever feel like it, hit me up haha
On a side note, people aren't going to like everything you create. Just part of being an artist.
@Rubinsteinmad You do need to give some sort of actual constructive advice, though.

[pencilart3]

@Noah Well, if you ever feel like it, hit me up haha

Will do!

@Rubinsteinmad You do need to give some sort of actual constructive advice, though.

Yes, exactly! What can I do to improve? I want to get better and dishing out barbs won't do that.

[swagmaster420x]

That quote stuck out to me cuz it was in the signature of a kid

OK, I was just being sarcastic, guys, I actually think the composition is pretty cool, with the novel harmonies and chromaticism,...

BTW@chopinlover if your compositions are better than RL_____s, Ill play them (poorly)

You mean Ro***n La***t?

[rubinsteinmad]

Corrrect bye its late

[pencilart3]

Corrrect

I guarantee that his compositions are better than R***** L*****'s.

[outin]

The piece really isn't bad at all, I was pleasantly surprised. But you should work on the presentation a bit more...I don't think you gave full justice to the composer

[chopinlover01]

Well, when they're finished, I'll send you PDFs. Maybe.
I'd like to try and sell these, but I might wait on that until I have a gathering.
Then again, it'd be a bit hard to come out with anything new lol.
OKAY: If you want to potentially be on board with recording/performing my stuff, PM me and I'll put you on a list of people to give free PDFs to (or .mus files if you prefer, if you work w/finale like I do).
That aside, I think mine are least a tad more creative than RL's are.
Maybe not though. I can't really say, I'm a bit biased, being their creator XD

[swagmaster420x]

Someone please tell me who RL is

[chopinlover01]

Robin Lamott.

[dcstudio]

I guarantee that his compositions are better than R***** L*****'s.

my dog composes with more skill than RL--and my dog can actually play what he composes... even with a sore paw..lol

[swagmaster420x]

Is there a reason I should hate Robin Lamott and vilify his compositions

[pencilart3]

Robin Lamott.

Do not say his name, please, unless you will star some of the letters out.

But you should work on the presentation a bit more...I don't think you gave full justice to the composer

Thanks outin yes and I just stuck the recorder on it completely non-warmed up, lol

[dcstudio]

hmmm....  where do you see hatred of this man or the vilification of his compositions?

pretty strong words...I am not sure why you are reacting this way...

  his compositions were amateurish and he made some very outrageous claims that were proven to be untrue... chief among them was that he was able to play the thirty or so tunes he uploaded...  they were all just files..  he expected the members here to download his compositions, play them,  and then give him feedback...   and he was really rude about it.

Then a month or so later he came back offering a scam deal for someone to record these compositions in exchange for a website that would be free except for the $250 dollars a year it would cost... LOL

[pencilart3]

Exactly. Then he went around to all the threads that were asking for any kind of repertoire help. He would say "Check out this guy called Robin Lamott he's really good". He must have forgotten that his username was robinlamott.

[rubinsteinmad]

Impressive

[dcstudio]

...lol. thanks

your welcome

man that was too funny.   Weren't you going to record those for him?  guess it never panned out huh?

you know it wasn't that I was opposed to his composing music that he was unable to play... it was his belief  that we would all race to download it so we could all finally play something new by a living composer... (because we are all so tired of Chopin, right?) 

and that description of himself on his webpage...  LOL

[rubinsteinmad]

He's much more worthy of arrogance than that b!tch teacher and "theholygidgeons" are though

[chopinlover01]

For the love of God, keep that sh*t flinging contest where it is, please..

[rubinsteinmad]

For the love of God, keep that sh*t flinging contest where it is, please..

It would be helpful if you would report holygidgeons and his ignorant crap to your good friend Nils.

[chopinlover01]

Well, if my good friend would make me a moderator, I might be more inclined to do something about it..

[rubinsteinmad]

Still, he ignorantly insulted blacks, Chinese people, Chinese Americans, homosexuals, and Americans in general.

Cut him some slack, I don't think he's all there mentally; punishing him for something due to a condition outside of his control would be cruel

Thanks swegmaster240x.

Rubinsteinmad, I'm sorry for all that profanity and vulgarness. I don't want to make my tourettse sydnrome an excus, but there are momentary moments where I cannot control my thoughts and burst out insults and swear ferociously. It is my mental condition, I hope you can understand and forgive me, you *** dick head faggot.

You forgot the rolling eyes: 

I almost thought that this was a real apology when you didn't put the rolling eyes, O Sir. I told you, I'm too dumb.

[pencilart3]

Thanks for all the feedback guys, you have all helped me to improve so much! Thanks!

Oh yes...

On the subject of RL, here's an interesting quote from the one (and only) interview he's had:
"if we look at what style of piano music is the most popular, the answer is the classical and romantic style.  Then if we look at which composers of that style are the predominant ones we all think of Chopin, Liszt, Mozart and Schumann.  Why these composers? because there has not been any composer since, that has been able to compose music just as appealing to the public."
Yeah, because Liadov, Glazunov, Medtner, Field, and all the like weren't a thing..
He makes it seem like the music industry is an honest one 

[pencilart3]

Um... aren't you FORGETTING SOMEONE?! *clears his throat loudly 5 or 6 times*

On the subject of RB (not to be confused with RL )...

You do know that Field composed his most appealing works before Chopin did, not after?

RL may be partly right in one thing though: The music composed after Chopin may not be quite as appealing to the (general) public with a few exceptions...but that isn't much of a reason for us on this forum to start playing his

Please explain how these posts and your profanity are related to tourrtte's syndrome.  that disorder
is manifested by VERBAL tics, including possible uncontrolled VERBAL profanity.

Tourrette's does not translate to written communication.  If you get these 'urges', whatever the cause, you do not lose the capacity to reason.  Use the backspace and delete keys.  

[pencilart3]

Use the backspace and delete keys.  

Or just get off the internet...

[dogperson]

Or just get off the internet...

That is certainly an option.  Bottom line: these posts and  their lewdness are absolutely not related to Tourrette's Syndrome.  To use this as an excuse unfairly further stigmatizes people with the disorder.

I find that more offensive than the posts.
