Hi. This is my first time uploading something here. So I hope you all like my first composition. Its not much and its extremely short, but its my first one so i'm pretty darn proud of it. ^.^ Comments and criticism (both nice and not) welcome.

A good newbie's composition. Good start, I'd like to see you finish it. ^_^

Definately good material!

Keep composing :)

Really good for a beginner :) .

very nice alot better than my first composition lol

Wow, i think that's the best first composition I've ever heard.

Yep, that was great I believe too. As Tony Little would say, "You can do it!"

i improved a little on my idea...i'm not exactly satisfied with the ending, so any tips on making better endings will be appreciated. but i'm considering this finished. i'm working on my next composition ^^. thanks in advance for listening.

Wow, that's your first? Great job. No suggestions for the ending, I lack knowledge there to... maybe use a really strong cadence?

Wow, being a beginner this is really good. Good job.

The ending can't be much better, in my opinion. Again, very well for a beginner. (You're better at using accidentals than I am :P ).

For the ending, I think a ritard and a third somewhere in that last chord would make it seem more final. Really good otherwise, though. :P

-Edit-

Another possibility is rearticulating the right hand notes instead of using a tie.

Nice album-blatt. I like it a lot. ^_^

Edit: woops, wrong version. Ignore this post.

this is definitely a work in progress...i feel like my last composition was one step forward and this was two steps back so any advice would be greatly appreciated

this began as a piano piece but i decided to add a flute part...then i wanted to experiment a little with the clarinet ^^...anyway...here's my second composition

again, please offer any advice, comments, or criticism

Needs some bass notes for meas. 3-4. It could use some Piano for meas. 10- end. The key sig is tough @_@ . Easy for Clarinet, but not for Flute...

Ah, I laughed when I saw F# Major being played by an instrument other than the piano. :lol:

Anyway, it doesn't really seem to flow that much. When the piano was playing, the left hand seemed to cary it all along, then it'd go to a quarter on beat 4 then start again. It sort of makes you guess what kind of piece it is, a more paced one, or a quickly flowing one.

Get your style down as well. This one was kinda modern, classical, barooque. :heh: But I don't know, those may be your influences.

i know the key signature is just pure hell :heh: but this basically stemmed off of a chord my friend played one day...and suddenly a short-lived burst of inspiration popped up...and after that, then i realized the key sig was hell, but i already started so i didn't wanna stop

i know the piece doesn't flow too well...i might cancel out the clarinet part (the clarinet part is just basically the flute part's counter-melody)...coz i'm starting to think the clarinet part is too much of a deviation from the flute piece...but idk...

i'm pretty much a pianist at heart which is probably why that's the only part that's anywhere near well-defined...you think i should scrap the woodwinds and go back to piano? the clarinet part isn't working but the flute probably could with MAJOR tweaking

and yeah...baroque is probably my biggest influence...i learned piano (my first instrument) by playing bach so most of his arpeggio patterns are all over what i write...i never thought of myself as modern or classical though :think:

but this piece'll probably come out baroque/modern...any more advice is welcome...please help me out here

i'm scrapping no. 2...i didn't know what direction it was going in and it sounded horrible...so i made another song...

i've been told its got a bit of a pirate-like feel to it :P...i'm a bit more confident about the melody but i'm kinda wondering if the harmonies drown the melody out :think:...it's still in progress so comments, criticism and advice would be helpful

It's short, but I think with a little more imagination you could make it sound better. (Made me think of "Bolero of Fire" in the first measure, and throughout it. Lol).

Make sure it keeps up that little energy it has.

Amazing, I'm rather new at composition myself, and you completely blew me out of the water. I'm very impressed!!

Yeah, Bolero of Fire all the way!
You could definitely make more usage out of the capabilities of the piano to make it more interesting.

For your Acerbus Somnium Theme, it'd go great if it was looped :)
