Theme and Variations in G-Minor | Original Composition

I’ve been busy with other projects lately, so here is a piece I composed about five years ago. I recorded this with my mobile phone back then, on my slightly detuned piano with my mediocre playing skills. I didn’t know counterpoint yet and hardly any music theory. It’s a nice document of the way I’ve come as a composer.
Have a nice day! ^^

5 years ! that is a huge progress...enormous.

@@eytonshalomsandiego Thanks a lot! ^^

[@eytonshalomsandiego]

that second phrase, if that is the term, when it goes up, is so haunting...

[@averynhiell]

@@eytonshalomsandiego Thank you! ^^
Which bar are you referring to?

[@drtee51]

I like them. Kinda sneaky, how you started with that C minor chord--for a split second I thought I was going to hear variations in C minor 🙂. The stuff you did with rhythmic figures and all the meters you used was really clever.

[@averynhiell]

Thanks a lot! Yeah, the subdominant subterfuge was me being sneaky. xD
I find it interesting that I was much more ready to explore rhythm and meter back then than now with the fugues. Probably gonna do that again soon. ^^

This is awesome
It sounds like a recording or is it digital playback

[@averynhiell]

@@toren-touissannt Thank you! ^^
This is the only recording on my channel so far. I played it myself (cf. description).

@@averynhiell cool dawg

[@alindmay]

Nice rhytmic variations... I dont knowc why.. I expected a fugue to be the final variation, loll

[@averynhiell]

@@alindmay Thank you! ^^
That is actually a decent idea. But I didn’t really know fugues back then.

[@drtee51]

Me too. I guess when I see Averyn Hiell, I start to expect a fugue. 🙂

[@averynhiell]

@@drtee51 I wonder why that would be. 🤔

[@AndresLindmayer]

Haha, indeed
