Absolutely wonderful work! Very refreshing to hear music like this still being composed. One small nitpick/piece of advice: instead of ending on a chord, you could try ending on just an octave so that it sounds like 2 voices are at play since the majority of your composition is in 2 parts.
This is so wonderful! I truly cant stop listening. If I can say one thing though, I’d suggest writing the dotted 8th in measure 12 as an 8th tied to a 16th. It’s clearer that way and retains the separation of the beams.
Congrats, u made a piece. my personal opinion is that its incredibly creative and well thought out, although the complicated dynamics make it a huge challenge, as the problem with composing in front of a screen, is that its hard to see the real beauty of your piece as its being horribly butchered by the musescore play-back system, plus the monotone-like default piano soundfont. Thats why some composers put incredibly hard dynamics that use mf's, and mp's, and other complicated things, to make the play-back more pleasing to hear, even though all these problems would be easily fixed if a real person played it on a real acoustic piano
Thank you for your feedback! I'm sure it would sound much better played on an actual piano. Unfortunately, I'm not a pianist and don't plan on putting the effort into becoming one. I can't afford professionals to play pieces of mine either, so all I can do is rely on soundfonts. This is actually not the default soundfont of Musescore but a VST that cost 30 €. There are certainly better ones out there but I'm already pleased enough with this one (even though the dynamics are not very well audible).
This is copy-paste from the style of Bach. It's a good exercise to be able to write in a contrapuntal style from the Baroque era, but it cannot be considered as original composition.
You are right. It was an exercise in the beginning of my counterpoint lessons. I uploaded it because I hadn't composed anything in a while. I write ‘(original composition)’ after every video title to indicate that I composed it, not anyone else. (: In my other compositions on this channel, I deviate a lot more from Bach's style.
In my opinion, don't take the other person's comment to heart. Your music is definitely original--it's Baroque inspired, but not a copy of Bach. I used to get a lot of the same criticism.
I appreciate your inquiry about my expertise! :) I've studied the pipe organ, piano, and harpsichord for a number of years, and learned a few fugues by Bach. I've also written a couple.

Thank you lots! I think it would be a good idea to reduce the final chord. Upon listening to it again, I think it sounds a bit awkward.
I agree!
Or a Picardy third. This was still insanely good nonetheless. Genius work.
@@omar_1880 Thank you so much! I like Picardy thirds in Bach's pieces, but in mine, I usually feel like they would sound awkward. Don't know why. 😅
Wow, beautiful! I don't really know much about counterpoint but it's great! I hope you keep writing stuff like this!
Thank you! ^^
Yeah! Good job! I really enjoyed listening to the music. That was dank!
Thank you so much! 🥰
Interesting--great work! I really like your harmonic flow; everything fits together nicely.
Thank you so much! ^^
You're welcome!! I encourage you to keep writing! You've got a lot of great ideas.
This is so wonderful! I truly cant stop listening.

Thank you, I appreciate it! I will keep the notation advice in mind. ^^
Very nice. I kept thinking that the melody would work great as a fugue as well.
Thank you! I will consider it, perhaps for a fughetta. ^^
I agree with you on that!
Nice job!
Thanks! (:
Are you sure you didn't write that some 2 centuries ago ?
lmao!

@@averynhiellWell, art is art, if you are fine with it, then so am I
Very beautiful!!!New subscriber! I compose myself and publish on my channel.🙏
Thank you! I listened to some of your pieces and I like what you are doing, too. ^^

Are you sure about that? Does it sound *exactly* like something that Bach would write?

@@MitchBoucherComposer it’s not criticism, it’s a fact. Have you ever studied and played Bach’s fugues on the piano?
