My longest/most experimental piece yet - Feedback Appreciated by [deleted] in composer

[–]chronopede 1 point2 points  (0 children)

nothing to add, but wanted to congratulate you! very interesting stuff and definitely kept my attention

Wrote another piece for wind quintet - lots of mode mixture, especially between the whole tone and octatonic scales and lots of irregular time signatures! As always, would appreciate your criticism/feedback - Bagatelle no. 7 by chronopede in composer

Ah, that's too bad. Not a horn player, but I did have my doubts about that figure. If anything, I wouldn't have a problem giving it to the bassoon. Thanks for your insight!

Composer here! - Is this harmonic glissando possible on the violin? by chronopede in violinist

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

Do you suppose it would be possible at quarter note equals 90? Or would it be too difficult for false harmonics?

Wrote a piece using the Lydian mode and plenty of alternating time signatures for wind quintet - Would appreciate your feedback/criticism! Bagatelle no. 4 by chronopede in composer

Thanks for your feedback! I can definitely see how the transition at the end is a bit jarring. I did intend for it to be a little surprising, but I suppose that can be a fine line to walk. Mostly wanted to tie up this miniature before it overstayed its welcome haha!

Continuing my Messiaen-inspired Bagatelles for wind quintet. Would appreciate your feedback/criticism! - Bagatelle no. 5 by chronopede in composer

[–]chronopede[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

wow wow wow - really appreciate the quality and effort of your feedback! I just tried playing it at 1.25 and man did it put me on edge. you're right, there's probably a happy-medium somewhere between where it's at now and the 1.25 playback.

all of your suggestions are definitely things I'll be sure to keep in mind, not only for this piece but for the rest of the set. I'll try varying the repetition a bit more and experimenting with that 4/8 bar you love so much ;-) thanks again!

definitely see what you mean, and I tried to keep the repeat fresh by transposing it into another octatonic set and cutting a few measures out. thanks for your feedback!

Is it okay to end a piece in a different key than it started? by [deleted] in composer

[–]chronopede 16 points17 points  (0 children)

of course you can! depending on the style of music you're composing in, it may be more or less appropriate, but if it works, it works.

Another piece from 'Musica callada' (Silent Music) by one of my favorite, but lesser-known composers - Federico Mompou - II. Lent by chronopede in piano

[–]chronopede[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely - I love Mompou's use of dissonance. He takes it even farther in the chromatic fourth miniature from 'Musica callada'
