Ok, I've dug up my songs and continued one of my older incomplete compositions and continued writing it. Back then, I made this piece for pure fun to see what I could do. I stayed true to the idea of having fun. I don't care if it's deformed or whatever. Still, I want you guys to listen to it.

Black and White was its original name but now I can't decide what to name it. Destruction of the Right Hand? Don't Try This At Home Kids? :shifty: I hope you get an idea of what the song sounds like from this.

Have fun.

Note: There's an updated version further down the page.

wow.... 10th jumps all over the place, and cluster chords that will make your hand cringe....
Good piece, would make a great etude!
The piece has a psudo-flow to it, but forms only one idea. It pushes the idea and then ends abruptly. Maybe if a second theme was added to it (maybe add a driving bass line) and it would seem a little more complete.

7/10

Maybe it's time to add a little left hand destruction too. Thanks for the suggestion!

*fingers drop off at the mere thought of trying to play it* You did have some good sections in there but it was more than a little bit random!

I've added a second motif, or whatever it's called. Y'know, a main tune. Now it's right hand AND left hand destruction, though the right hand is still more severe!

Can you please provide the score or screen cap? ^^

Here's the score in MUS format...sorry the first note isn't legible. The naturals overlap with flats I believe

Very interesting piece; the development feels very minimalistic, especially with that pseudo-phasing part starting on the third page. I liked how you re-used motifs here and there, but that free-stylish part in the middle felt kind of out of place. I think the ideas could&#39;ve been developed some more if the piece were longer (most of the individual sections sound pretty structured, but as a whole it ties together pretty loosely-kinda like what I end up often doing <_<). But all in all, it&#39;s a pretty nice attempt; keep it up.

Open the MIDI in Noteworthy ;) Only stuff that might be sloppy are the tempo changes...but you&#39;re a good musician so you can figure out how it goes.

Finale Notepad&#39;s a small download. Only a few seconds on T1/Cable/DSL and 30 mins at the most on dialup.
