Hi! Added a piece. Forest still isn't finished(really busy, kinda forgot about it...). Anyway, enjoy Paparazzi.

Could you post a midi? :) Thanks! :)

Actually I cant. I have finale notePad and apparenly you cant make midis with finale notePad. Sorry.

Woa no way! ><

Neat little piano piece there. Not to shabby for a beginner (I am guessing you are?). The piece itself is hard to comment on, but I'll give you some suggestions and try to use examples from your own piece.

You give us a nice introduction; it's very simple, easy to listen to and get incorporated with, however, you change the pattern and you even start the melody on an odd chord and change the progression too. It just doesn't fit. Introduce your accompaniment as you did and then put your melody on top of that. That's a basic concept, but it's good to get used to that before moving on.

Another thing I'd like to touch on are the dynamic markings. Do you really to decrescendo down to a "ppp" then almost as quickly crescendo to a "f" marking? That's pretty weird, and un-fitting; even the playback sounded off. Keep it all pretty simple at this point, and think about your dynamics carefully. Don't go in and out of extremes, at least not without some sense made into them. It's good to think of Verses in songs at about a "mp" or even a "p" marking, then when the bridge comes in it will go up to a "mf" and when the chorus starts jump up to a "f" level. You get what I am saying? Just look at any song and you'll see what I am talking about.

One last thing to keep in mind is this: Stay with your theme. No, not that opening melody, but don't jump to a different idea. Your ending has almost nothing to do with the first half of the piece. And at 39-45 you really get out of character and you did it too fast.

My overall suggestion is to keep things flowing. And not just endlessly; have your ideas flow to a purpose.

Keep it up.

I agree there are a lot of things wrong with it. And no, I'm not a beginner. For one thing, it's not finished. The different part you hear at the end is like... well i guess you could call it a second movement. it is supposed to slow down to 65 towards the end, but FNP doenst let you make those kinda changes.:eyebrow: Anyway the dynamics. they were extreme, but thats because i was trying to get it as soft as possible to as loud as possivle as quicly as possible.

I understand your statements, but I will say it this way:

I brought them up because they DON'T WORK.

Either or not if you intended to do what you did, it's not working. The other movement could just be written in another FNP file. The dynamic idea is neat, but it doesn't mix at all with the piece.

Yeah it's been awhile. I'm like Lady Gaga's sutff so I made an arrangement. By the way, I have finale notepad so my tempo changes dont work. Sorry! They are written in the music though...
