Popular Post KK 3,307 Posted December 16, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 16, 2020 I kept it simple. It's rough, under-developed and poorly played...but here it is: Cheers to @Jurassic Shark for putting this together! Looking forward to hearing everyone's pieces.

It's funny how work tend to keep expanding until the deadline. The deadline for submission has now ended. Contestants are allowed to make minor alterations to their piece at any time, also when the poll is up. @gkgyver, I know you were working on something. If you submit today I'll include it in the poll. GerateWohl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveMc 2,674 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 This is about as good as I will get it. Maybe too late for the poll, but here it is. Now, it is very short. The last minute of the file is just silence.

And in my opinion it realy deserves more listens. There is a lot to discover. But I cannot really get it into my head. Second thought was, you really seem to have a crush with minimal music. I remembered our short exchange about Phillip Glass. Third thought was, I wondered, if you are planning one day to actually play it by hand. I think, it would be really a fun piece to play. Even though I am afraid, for me that would mean about half a year of practicing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though I am afraid, for me that would mean about half a year of practicing. Thanks for the thoughtful feedback. I have to admit that I had to take some shortcuts to make the deadline. There's a few transitions I want to improve when I have the time, and some harmonies I want to have a closer look at. If there's anything that sounds erratic or out of place, please give me a heads up. I do like a limited part of Glass' output, such as his violin concerto and his Metamorphosis, but I think the minimalistic figures are also inspired by typical accompanienment patterns from the classical era, such as Mozart's works. The piece was written with the intention that I should be able to play it myself. That will probably require a month or more of practicing every day - I hope to start on this during Christmas. I think the tempo makes it sound harder than it is. The challenge for me is to play fast enough with the left hand. 8 hours ago, SteveMc said: This is about as good as I will get it.

GerateWohl 4,448 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Thank you for your explanation. I have just one note of critisism. At the very beginning you are running into some 7th chords between 0:13 and 0:20 and that is something Mozart would never have done in this way and in the whole character of the piece that feels for me a bit out of place looking at the rest of the piece. I mean the beginning is good, but for me the mentioned section does not fit -at least for me - with the character of the rest of the piece. Of course you can claim here artistic freedom. So, bottom line, I would simply like it better if these chords there would stick more strict to the classcal harmonization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can think of several harmonies that I might want to alter, but not those two. I didn't mean to imply that I want to limit myself to the harmonic language of the classical era or Mozart, but I don't see how these chords are out of place. The chords were chosen to create a feeling of anticipation. You could probably say that the part from 0:12 to 0:27 is inspired by folk music and Grieg.

Probably it is less about the chords itself but about this pattern repeating a melody 1:1 above changing chords, which by the way I did permanently in my piece due to my lack of composition skills. And probably I just think, your piece better than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I often find it interesting to start out in a simple (but hopefully interesting) manner, and then introduce variation by making things more complex.
