  • Reposting this, I deleted it because I was really unhappy with it as a whole. The readability is piss poor and I didn't really have a grounded theme, it's just a couple unfinished ideas thrown together. I figure I'll still upload it, even if I don't like it, and maybe I'll re-use some of ghese ideas in a new, more refined composition. Also, sorry for the lack of uploads, I have a performance this upcoming Friday which I've been preparing for. Hopefully I can record that and post it here for y'all.
    This is a prelude based off of the B section I removed from the Dm prelude. The original plan was to use both ideas to make a sonata, but I felt they were too similar and I wanted to do my secondary theme in a major key if I was going to do another sonata. My last two didn't really follow sonata form, so I would really like to give that another go.
    Similar to the Dm prelude, this one starts with an Eb7, but in this it's intended to function as a Ger+6 chord leading to V, rather than a tritone sub leading to i. I used some octave markings throughout, but it sort of clutters the score. With these preludes, my main goal is to improve on motivic development. In general, the readability could be improved upon greatly, which I'll keep in mind when composing in the future.

    @TristinBailey I saw your original feedback for this when I first posted it, thank you for taking so much time to give me advice. I'll keep it in mind on future compositions, I really don't like this one and I don't really want to go back and spend more time on it. I might re-use some of these themes, so I'll adjust it then. Thank you again

      Sorry if I upset you, I may have gone a bit overboard. Good luck with your future projects.

      ​@@TristinBailey Thanks man! You didn't upset me, I was upset with myself. I know I can do better, and it felt like I was pumping out quality over quantity. Someone actually found the score on the Musescore website and had the same advice as you, which encouraged me to repost it 😂

      ​@@TristinBaileyOh as as for the fermatas, it was in an attempt to add rubato to the musescore playback. The rest is just hasty transcribing on my part trying to get idea out. I really appreciate the advice man, I love your style and you give great pointers and direction that helps me a ton when composing.

    The piece is great overall! However that Allegro theme is genuinely phenomenal and I wished there was just a whole sonata deticated to that motif haha. I understand it's for consistency, but maybe have some more rhythmic variation in the left hand so its not just thuds in half notes over and over again. Also if the middle voice had more leading tones that are off rhythm, i think itd further add to the jazzy feel. Great job though!

      Thank you so much! Thats a great idea too, some rhythmic variation in the left hand would sound awesome! The Allegro theme was supposed to be its own Sonata before I threw it in this, so maybe I can add some of that variation and syncopated leading tones when I do that! Thank you so much for the advice, and for checking my stuff out!
