Nocturnal Dream

I have to tell you it was worth the waiting. I actually like when there is a pause for effect plus you are right different parts should be separated by some pause.

I really liked it and true enough it was dreamy. So keep up composing Maestro

Thanks ALOT Maggie Really nice of you to say
Then I havnt practiced it for nothing :D

Okay you wanted my honest opinion; for your first own piece, it was good. It wasn't like *WOW!!!* awesome. But it was a good beginners piece.

Now for some constructive critic so you may improve for your next piece;

The harmony was good, the rhythm was okay. I'd say that you will have to work abit on your melody line. It was a bit to repetetive, and I was kind of waiting for something to happen, you got some variation in nicely when you changed to a higher octave.

Also, was those pauses intended? If it was, I think it would sound alot better without those pauses, but hey, it's your work and your emotions in this piece so I got nothing to say about that part.

One more thing is that I think you're holding down the damper pedal too much, you should practice that a bit...

So in general I'd say you did pretty good for your first piece, considering you haven't played for long also.

I'd give it a 6/10 in other cases, but considering it's your first piece and you haven't played for long, I'd say 9/10.

You're definetly on the right track, keep practicing!

Thanks for a great reply You know the way of giving constructive critic And that I appriciate =)
And I agree about the damperpedal!! But it doesnt sound that mooshy of camera Couse I lift it everytime i start a new arpeggio.... But I agree... The pedal is new to me so it probably needs work no matter what

Thanks for the 6/9 /10 =)

You're welcome, one more thing is that you should not be afraid to "step out" from harmony sometimes, try adding a passing chromatic tone, it will increase its dramatic feeling by 100% I promise

So for example if your playing from G major to A minor, you play G Major -> G# Diminished(Just raise the G from the G Major) -> A Minor.

Okay, I really dont understand anything there Haha... Havnt read about harmony, I just sat down and started to improvise the tunes. But I plan to learn harmony sometime, quite soon maby, then maby Ill understand more of what you just said
Diminished is also a word I dont remember what means, that and agumented

Try playing this and you will understand what I mean

play g major (G B D), then sharp the G and you'll get G# B D (G# Dim chord) and then an A minor, play those 3 chords after each other

I posted a video in the General section where the guy is teaching a Xmas song and tells all about how you create diminished and augmented and stuff... maybe it is worth to check it out.
But I also need to learn these stuff... I might post something about it as soon as I understand them

Nocturnal Dream

Uploaded again but with more athmosfare(less light) And a dreamy sound =)
After little critic on the pauses, I tryed to shorten them down... And now I got a smoother verson I think.
At 1.35 I push just a tad to hard, and then a different sound appear, but I know... =)

The weird 52 to 55 sound is gone in the "dream" version, I think it was something in my head...

Fare should be sphere

I love the ambiance and let me tell you the stabilization of the camera made it more professional
Without the longer pauses it had more flow but less recognizable with the part... but I still like it a lot.
Oh and I forgot to tell the opening picture with the title is great

Hi Thomas!! That was very creative. I'm not that into technical stuff with music. I must say it's really something unique what you just did. ^_~ I like it!

Hey Thomas, i REALLY liked your song, it was GREAT for a first composition! VERY VERY GOOD! I loved your chord progression, and the little rests at the end of every phrase were very interesting to listen and wait for!

Thanks for posting and sharing it with us! ^_^

my heart was liking your song and that's all that matters right!

Thanks alot Very nice of you to say so
Actually the "pop" verson and the slow verson is axactly the same, but in the faster verson on keyboard, I play at 120, and the slow is round 70. It is a nice verson

Hey, Thomas, I just dropped by today with more time, I hadn't seen your performance yet, been busy with work, etc. And here I am on Saturday morning at 8 a. m. dreaming... I loved your composition, especially the second version. Keep them coming!

You might notice two strange glitches, think my camera is messed up somehow, but the sound isnt affected... So I dont mind them... -)

Für Elise - Ludvig van Beethoven


If you want to, you can comment on youtube aswell, since I never get any comments there, hahaha

You kinda rushed it in a few spots, which you can probably notice yourself easy

Nice playing though
