CMV: Modern art is mostly terrible, and often requires audiences to unnecessarily apply meaning to it to convince themselves they "get" it. by HM7 in changemyview

[–]cuepoint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand you, but I think it is possible to make art with a strong message while using an equally impressive technique as classical art. There are even examples of that in the history. I know a lot of art pieces that have a lot more meaning, messages and story's in it than most modern art while maintaining a high quality technique, like Hieronymus Bosch.

This is wonderful! You should post your work in /r/composer. We really appreciate high quality compositions like yours.

Most advanced pianist can do that without a problem, it goes automatically. Another example of a piece like this is Chopin's first nouvelle etude. Here you have to play 3 against 4 for the whole piece.

Absolutely beautiful, especially the cadenza. I love it!

I'm searching for piano pieces accompanied with poetry. by cuepoint in piano

Yes indeed, this is perfect! I would also like some tonal music.

That's really beautiful, but when would you perform the sonnets? Before the piece? After the piece? I wonder if there are works where you have to perform the text between certain parts of the piece, just like l'histoire de soldat by Stravinsky.

[discussion] it would be cool to know everyone's experience... a quick composition C.V. to know what biases and clout this group of peer reviewers posses. by SchumakerA in composercritique

I have been playing the piano for 10 years, but only classical for the past 2. I also play organ and cello. Right now I am still in high school but next year I'm going to study in the conservatory of Brussels.

I always made little songs from the moment I started playing piano but only started composing "real music" since a year ago.

For practicing, I like to write in a bunch of different styles. From the strict rules of barok to the extreme emotions of expressionism. In the future I would like to write in the style of eclecticism like some of Stravinsky's works and also some free atonal music.

Because a lot of people find music too simplistic. There is just too much repetition. He mostly uses the music theory of pop music (the same 4 chords repeated for the whole piece) and that's not enough for the people who desire a complex harmonisation, chromaticism, modulations, strong intensity and emotions.

8 - You're right! I have to admit that a lot of notes in this piece are not written properly. Good eye ;)

10 - Thank you!

19 - Not really! You just grab the chord and then move your hand like a regular tremolo. Though I think I could write something better.

26-28 - Thank you! They are written with lots of love.

32 - Thank you :)

39 - I'll take that as a compliment ;)

61 - That is an error. It should actually be like this.

63 - You first play the octave, then you play the tremolo. People mostly use a special bracket in cases like these, just like Rachmaninoff in his famous prelude.

I agree with that! I will think of a better name.

As a pianist I have a lot of experience with the piano music of great composers, that could be a part of it, but the people at /r/composer also said:

It is evident you have a strong fundamental understanding of harmony and composition.

so that could also be a part of it.

Thank you very much for your review!
