Recently, I have attempted to compose some piano pieces. Unfortuantely, most of what I created sounded rather horrible. Though, two of my pieces, which I shall attach to this post, sound more interesting than anything I composed previously. Though beware, I am not very talented.

The first one, "dtheme" in C Sharp minor.The D is an abbreviation for dungeon. In my opinion, it sounds somewhat similar to the music played in the old rpgs, which s why I named it such.

The second compoisition is known as "Requiem du Abandonné" in E Minor, translated it means Requiem of the Abandoned/Relinquished. I aimed for a sad feeling to it, in which I somewhat failed. Perhaps I should have chosen a different key to play it in.

The third attachment is the first two put together, with a repetition of the first part in a different key.

Nontheless, here they are. I would be pleased if the ones who listen to them give their opinion, regardless of how horrible it may be.

Sometimes the melody and the chords don't go well together... check on that. Other than that, the dungeon theme's title fit well. The Requiem needs tweaking... it didn't sound really sad... The third song that connected them didn't flow well, but somehow, they sound nice connected ;) I don't know... the transition from minor to major went pretty well, but after that, the song sounded random -.- Start tweaking, and it'll turn out to be an okay piece :)

I thought the Dtheme was a bit better than the Requiem, but they both need some work. Try to give the melody more of a flowing sence... I mean it doesn't have to be flowing like no stop from on to the other note, but that the melody is flowing logicaly from one measure to another.
That way it's also easier to folow for the ones that listen them for the first time.

the requiem lost it self after 13 secs up to that point it was good.
as for the dungeon song, there isnt much to coment on...

keep working on them.

Dtheme had generally a chord progression that's hard to fail on. in ur case, C#-B-A I think. Try using pedals too.

Requiem: I can't say anything good about this so I'll just say think more about the melody and leave it at that.

These two were more like themes or motifs than songs. Also, I don't think they belonged with eachother.

Hmm, not too bad for starting pieces. There seems to be a sense of phrasing and motifs, which is good. A lack of phrase structure is a common beginner's mistake that contributes to randomness.
