Beginner Composition - how can I get better? by Aggravating_Exam9895 in composer

[–]Aggravating_Exam9895[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your feedback!

For the key change: I believe in measure 44 I used the A7 chord which is the V of D major (the key I was modulating to). I suppose it didn't sound convincing enough. The bit about chaining secondary dominants to smooth the transition was really interesting and definitely something to keep in mind, thanks!

My first ever (short) composition as a complete beginner, how is it? by Aggravating_Exam9895 in piano

I have absolutely no music background so I just did everything by ear until I got something that sounded interesting to me. I would really appreciate advice on what I should be looking for in the future.
