| PROF | COMPOSITION | SCORE | REVIEWER COMMENTS | ||||||||||||||||||
| B | Josh's Rag | 7.00 | A really happy tune, not very memorable, though. But good for its kind. | ||||||||||||||||||
| A | Bach Fantasy | 6.00 | I like the peaceful and relaxing feeling of the piece. The harmonies support this very well. But then it just keeps going on and on without really going anywhere. I can see that you have nice ideas, and you've given time to this composition. | ||||||||||||||||||
| C | Rozhnik | 5.50 | Sounds like a children's song. Nice melodies, but a bit too much repetition. | ||||||||||||||||||
| B | A Little Weird Song | 7.00 | It starts a bit "suddenly", at least a short introduction would make it easier for the listener to "get in". Nice sounds, different instruments work well together. Some more variation would be good, the same chords are repeated all the time. The ending sounds very nice, but it doesn't fit to the rest of the song as well as it should. | ||||||||||||||||||
| B | Edit J. Forever | 7.00 | Instruments work well together also in this one. The String enseble is a bit "clumsy" melody instrument in my opinion, but that's just in the beginning. Also this song could use some variation in the structure, it's the same chords all the time. | ||||||||||||||||||
| A | Symphony C minor mov 1 | 8.00 | |||||||||||||||||||
| D | Symphonydenada | 4.00 | These kind of experimental pieces either work or don't work. Unfortunately this falls to the latter category. There are some nice ideas, though. | ||||||||||||||||||
| A | Trio Opus 44 | 6.00 | Something in the melody strongly reminds me of something I've heard before. Is that what you mean by "traditional"? Nice handling of instruments, though. | ||||||||||||||||||
| A | Concerto 53 | 7.00 | A nice classical style concerto. Not very original sounding, though. I've played dozens of pieces a lot like this one, by Mozart, Haydn etc.. You know your style well, but I think this one lacks a "hook", to make it stand out. Very good orchestration, the themes move nicely from instrument to another. The ending of the finale might be a bit stronger, now just kinda falls down. | ||||||||||||||||||
| A | Piano Sonata 3 | 7.50 | |||||||||||||||||||
| C | Brandenberg Echoes | 2.50 | Nice idea, but it starts to sound a bit like someone playing Bach wrong… It can't possibly hold my interest this long. | ||||||||||||||||||
| C | The Lost Flamenco | 6.00 | I'm no expert in flamenco, but at moments this sounds more like baroque music. Maybe that's where you got lost! Although, in a way there is something similar in these two kinds of music, now that I think about it. Nice piece, but doesn't hold my interest quite to the end. | ||||||||||||||||||
| A | Journey | 4.00 | |||||||||||||||||||
| B | The Blue Sea | 5.00 | It starts nicely, you give the listener a nice feeling of floating above the clouds, but for some reason you don't open the clouds at all, so to speak. It would be nice to see some of that sea, and what's going on on the sea. | ||||||||||||||||||
| C | Freddy's Morning Daybreak | 5.00 | |||||||||||||||||||
| C | The Depot | 5.50 | |||||||||||||||||||
| B | Day Dream | 7.50 | This song has a nice swing. I'd suggest not to pan instruments almost completely to the right or the left, the separation is a bit too sharp, especially for a small scale piece like this. | ||||||||||||||||||
| B | Yukon Territory | 7.00 | See above. | ||||||||||||||||||
| C | Final Battle | 8.00 | Reminds me a bit of songs by the band Nightwish. The piece of James Bond theme doesn't quite fit into the picture, why did you put it there? Otherwise, not bad at all. Maybe you should try developing some of these parts into a longer song with a bit more clear structure. | ||||||||||||||||||
| C | Opening Fire | 7.00 | |||||||||||||||||||
| B | Spanish Impressions | 8.00 | Quite a nice catchy tune. The orch. hits sound a bit out of picture in my opinion. | ||||||||||||||||||
| C | Never Forgotten | 8.00 | This kind of melodies are often heard in warfilms, it has the kind of "patriotic" feel. These pieces need to have a strong emotion that makes you feel it in the back of your neck. Your piece does this quite well. You might consider keeping the orchestral feel throughout the piece, the drums in measures 18-28 draw a bit off it. | ||||||||||||||||||
| B | When I Dream of You | 9.00 | It's a really beautiful song, plays nicely through my digital piano. It's not very easy to make a piano-only -song like this sound good with midi, but you do it well. | ||||||||||||||||||
| A | Trio Fugue in G minor | 7.50 | |||||||||||||||||||
| A | Introit and Kyrie | 7.00 | |||||||||||||||||||
| A | Violin Concert 1, mov 1 | 8.00 | Good work mostly. Some parts sound a bit unfinished, especially the ending gives me the image of running into a brick wall. Why? | ||||||||||||||||||
| B | Will you be my Valentine | 7.50 | Many good ideas. The piano sounds a bit monotonic at times. If you worked on this a bit more, you could have a classic on your hands. | ||||||||||||||||||
| A | Opus 11 v2002 | 7.00 | |||||||||||||||||||
| B | Spinnaker | 8.50 | Nice mood in this one. Kind of "harmless" in a way, but music doesn't always have to be so dramatical. | ||||||||||||||||||
| A | 2nd Symphony, vivace | 9.50 | A fine piece of work! You have nice melodies and harmonies, good orchestration, and apparently you had a clear idea of what you were doing, and you did it. I really don't like listening to music that sounds like it's not finished. This is everything but that! I'd like to play this... | ||||||||||||||||||
| C | Under Attack | 8.50 | Good drama. Reminds me of the soundtracks in Warcraft games, by Blizzard. The piece kinda jumps from one theme to another, a bit more of "backbone" would do good. But a great piece for its purpose. | ||||||||||||||||||
| A | Forty | 8.00 | The piece is good, only I'd like to see a bit more emotion. Now it sounds like there's something that wants to come out, but you're not letting it. | ||||||||||||||||||
| D | Wiraqcha | 7.00 | |||||||||||||||||||
| A | Flight of Fancy | 7.50 | |||||||||||||||||||
