This piece is wonderful! However, as a pianist, I would advise that you remove the bottom dynamics for the left hand. This is because usually pianists would understand that you mean to apply the dynamics to both hands if you just had one for the right hand. There are special cases (for instance, Chopin Ballad no. 2), but those are reserved for hands playing contrasting dynamics

Aram Khachaturian does it

I thought this was the other guy's waltz no. 2

О, ты имеешь в виду меня?

That is very impressive! I write my music on Maestro, but that is amazing!

Why aren't you famous already? I'm so glad that yt algoritm recomanded me your pieces!🎶

[@uncertainity188]

I think one has to create good music to be famous.

[@KeepingItcool-hk3wi]

@@uncertainity188 if that was the case, then a lot of people who are famous wouldn't be.

[@uncertainity188]

@@KeepingItcool-hk3wi You're right. I should say: if one wishes to be famous, they should create good music.

[@KeepingItcool-hk3wi]

@@uncertainity188 i really do hope things change, and people actually become famous for that reason music-wise.

[@FranzLisztVeryReal]

looks 100% playable

[@Jamesmusica]

it is

[@uncertainity188]

​@Jamesmusica It is not reasonably playable. It doesn't sound good enough to justify those insane runs.

I'm inspired to write again

At the end, you do not resolve the E# in the right hand, you must do that, as it is still present as a harmonic anchor in the final chord. All notes leave behind "shadows" or anchors as I like to call them after they're played, you've likely noticed it yourself. You must be careful with them, as they are the root of what creates harmony and non-chord tones like suspensions. In the case of the final measure, the E# is kept as a suspension, and is heard as such, despite it not being played, and it was never properly resolved. Anchors will continue being present after they're introduced, until they're A: moved to a note a semitone/wholetone away B: they're resolved through a cadence or C: they're forgotten about by the listener(avoid this one at all costs). They can also be resolved melodically, as typically a strong suspension or a grounded introduction can be enough for it to resolve itself.

Well, it sounds good but u know, not very logical. Yeah, u are a free composer who choose how to compose by urself and so was famous Chopin who easily make a contrast between two themes in his second ballade with a lot of unexpected fortissimos however I think it's a very hard form to compose for u. For me, u should start with simple music form of silent theme in the beginning, development in the middle part and strong coda in the end. It'll really make ur music sound more beautiful, I think. If u make to much forte that no one except to hear then people just won't like this. And yeah phrasing is important. Make more logic 4 bar sentences. It will be great, I promise. And I see there were a lot of runs. They were also great but I think that u shouldn't use only 32 and 64 notes for them. U can take for example a few 16 notes and then some triplets. So do the same Chopin who really likes such runs. But at all, it's really a nice composition and I believe u wil be able to improve ur works soon.

[@thatonecuber9266]

please learn what a 4 bar phrase is :D

[@Jamesmusica]

i understand your frustration, but i have. decided to do something experimental. if you don't like it just don't type away, please! ;D
