RE: SONATA FOR KEYBOARD – in g minor | AsteriskedMusic.Com
Very nice and soothing, the movements all seem well-timed and engaging as well. You may have written a classic... I like some of the slightly dissident cords you are using, especially with the breaks in timing.
@bengy here's one for you to check out.
Thanks! I was already here in a different skin!
lol, I forgot about that....
Thanks, man! You sound like someone with a trained ear. Are you a musician yourself?

I play a bit, not much in the classical world but I understand some theory.
I'm mostly an ear player, but I could hear what sounded like 2nds and 4ths when many would have reached for 7ths. It adds to the depth of the piece and to the performer.
Cool! I've wanted to perform as a member of a band for a long time. I find that the world of academic music has become stultified and disconnected from its audience. I've had some opportunities to perform, but nothing consistent. It's hard to find people who will perform with you who are committed to it. What kind of music do you play.
And yes, your observation is correct. In spite of my dislike of the musical academy, I do think that modern techniques have a valid role. I just think their focus is wrong. They should be using dissonance and polytonality and polyrhythms and abnormal time signatures to add depth to the experience of the listener - not to stoke their own ego about how "outside the box" they are. That's what I try to do.

lol, I think that is why most people try to go outside the box, it's an ego trip.
I play and listen to a little bit of everything. I do have the oppurtunity to play with a church band a bit. We don't always sound great but we try. I posted a cover set a few weeks ago, it's not a pro recording just over a mic so it's all on a single channel.

I'm on in the black shirt playing the tele on the first couple of songs. Like I said not real good but I have fun with it.
