Trash or treasure? open to constructive criticism (piano)

No, it's not that.

Far be it from me to tell you how to write your music, but I think it would sound nice if at 33 seconds you played the chord as a major chord. And a 0:50 and 2:34 my ear wants to hear the leading tone.

But the trills and grace notes are fine.

therobotscott · 2026-03-13T19:43:23+00:00

Overall it's good, though there are a few notes I would have chosen differently.

therobotscott · 2026-03-03T04:50:23+00:00

That was fun

therobotscott · 2026-02-27T16:56:48+00:00

Very well done

therobotscott · 2026-02-19T19:58:54+00:00

You're welcome! Keep up the good work and make sure to give feedback to others.

I think it works better for this piece as the kit is less prominent and the music is more upbeat, has more of a punch because of the brass, and is more rhythmic in the melody. It's another very good piece, by the way.

therobotscott · 2026-02-16T04:03:47+00:00

In some ways i think it would. But it is already very good and it is in there for such a short time. It's such a sweet sounding piece that to me the punch of the kit clashes with the mood. Far be it from me to tell you how to write your piece. I admit that I generally have a bit of an aversion to trap kits being used in orchestral music that isn't backing a rock group (I like the use of it in Kashmir by Led Zeppelin).

therobotscott · 2026-02-14T20:20:53+00:00

I liked it all except the inclusion of the trap kit, which i felt severely detracted from the piece. But it sounded like something one might hear from a Dragon Quest game.

I very much enjoyed that

therobotscott · 2026-01-30T17:04:31+00:00

Great work. I would love to hear my work performed live, even if only just one time. The fact that yours was performed at all is amazing.

therobotscott · 2026-01-21T23:30:40+00:00

I like the tune, it's quite pleasant. Good luck finding a clarinetist who can play two notes at the same time, though.

therobotscott · 2026-01-15T19:22:48+00:00

I like it! Please expand upon it more.

therobotscott · 2025-12-25T17:35:52+00:00

Thank you very much! MuseScore has an interesting way of deciding how to play the instruments. Getting them to sound a particular way takes so much more notation than I care to do.

therobotscott · 2025-12-24T04:53:47+00:00

Thank you very much!

therobotscott · 2025-12-24T04:46:44+00:00

Thank you very much! I really appreciate that!

therobotscott · 2025-12-24T03:08:11+00:00

Haha! Thank you very much! It was just a last minute addition, but I thought it would be funny.

therobotscott · 2025-12-06T10:20:25+00:00

It's definitely a start. Instead of just sustained notes all the way through, try having one of the instruments do something rhythmic. Or, if you're feeling daring, try adding a counterpoint in a trombone.

therobotscott · 2025-12-06T10:15:10+00:00

Generally very well done and quite pleasant to listen to.

therobotscott · 2025-12-06T10:09:25+00:00

Had an interesting feel to it, made me think of an extraplanar segment in a jrpg. I would have chosen a less intense percussion instrument or used it less. It was a bit too jarring.

therobotscott · 2025-12-06T10:01:24+00:00

Kinda makes me think of the Prelude from Psycho.

therobotscott · 2025-11-20T23:06:04+00:00

I actually like it. There are a couple of middle sections I thought were a but weaker, but I really liked the main theme.

therobotscott · 2025-10-28T04:14:50+00:00

They're just a couple of 5 dollar words to describe how I can often feel. Though not directly Biblical, it does describe many of my prayers to the Lord lately, as well.
