[i2 - Sweet Agony (The End)]

10.

and 5. (4.46 / 5.00 (+ 0.096))

Great blend. Reminds me of some human slowly becoming a robot as he sleeps or something like that.

Much better than the first as well.

Cheers!

That sounds like an awesome flash........ DO IT!!!

[Minuet no. 1 in G]

5. Woot.

Great little cute simple melody, somewhat catchy, loops well. Loops well. No 30 second advertising space at the end tho. Great job, again.

MusicalRocky responds:

Haha thanks man.

Nope I don't have those at the end :P

[Prelude no. 4 in E]

Not in d minor? XD

Did you mean Em? this is in no way a major piece to my ear. if it is, amazing job with giving the illusion.

Ternary... form... meh. Congratulations, you form freak. XD jk.

Great piece man, the arpeggiations were nice. The left hand must be really bored, I must say.

Another great job, a 9 and a 5 from me.

MusicalRocky responds:

Lol just because it's my favorite key doesn't mean I only write in it xD

Nope it's definitely in E, middle section is in Em though. Lol yep yep ternary, good for short piano pieces.

Gotta love those arpeggios : D Lol yeah the left hand part is simple, though if you want a bored left hand, listen to Winterwind's pieces. (jk winter don't hurt me)

Thanks for reviewing man.

[Real Piano Theme]

Beautiful.

I fived it. The organ wasn't necessary, in a way, I think it actually subtracted from it.

Either way, beautiful piece. Whether you played this or not, it would take skill and knowledge of the mechanics of a piano to write something like this. Great job man.

Cheers,
MJTTOMB

Jimbobsthebest responds:

Thanks for the review MJTTOMB. I'm pleased that people thought I'd played this, as it suggests that the piano sound I used was fairly accurate. I also wasn't sure about the oboe and flute I added as all they do is follow the lead.

Thanks again for a very kind review, James

[Symph #1 in Dm - 2nd mvnt]

Heh, finally got around to this.

Finally got around to reviewing something for you.

Very nice. This really was a bit simple for my liking, but it worked well for its purpose, it fits as a second movement. The second section, however, was a little too upbeat. The two or three noticeable key changes worked well. The instrumentation was a little off, a large, powerful crescendo would've helped alot.

Kudos to you for writing a symphony, I hope to do the same at some point.

Might I say, you've improved a LOT since your first songs. Way to stick with it.

Regards,
MJTTOMB

MusicalRocky responds:

Hello : D

Yeah, the theme is quite simple, I could've expanded it a bit, but I thought it served its purpose, didn't want to go overboard. I did all I wanted to do in the piece : )

Second section might seem a little upbeat, but really it's the same tempo throughout (except ritards and accelerandos of course). Okay, okay it's not REALLY the same. It's twice as fast, but written the same, I didn't want to go through the trouble of 32nds lol.

Ah, yes, the key changes. I think I went to...F minor at some point, B minor later on, ended in D. Quite fun those were, glad you thought they worked well : )

Now do you mean the instrumentation during the modulations were off? If so, you may be right, actually I quite agree, didn't really think to do crescendi there.

Yep, writing a symphony...'twas great fun, and lots of work, I assure you. Hope you write one someday too, it's very rewarding : D

Improved a lot since my earlier songs? Indeed, I have a LOT. In fact, I rarely ever go near those songs : /

Thanks for the review.

[Death of a Ranger]

lol.

Power rangers. XD.

Great fingerwork you've got there.

5 and a cheers,
MJTTOMB

TheCrazyPianist responds:

It's supposed to make you sad, stop laughing you jerk.

[WIP- The Marquis's Waltz]

Great.

I fived it, my man.

Great piece. Just maybe a few suggestions.

The Tremolo on the strings was somewhat unnecessary, and the crash cymbals were a little obnoxious. The glock/bells were great. Nice melody, great smooth progression of ideas, you've mad a fan out of me, my friend.

Beacon515L responds:

Thanks! The piece was kinda rushed, and, I say again, is not finished. I suppose I could have done without the tremolo, and that may be the way the piece turns out. The cymbals- well, perhaps. The last bit was kinda poor, in my opinion. Still, it's a WIP. What can I say?
Thanks for stopping by!

[i2 - Stages of Breakup]

Wonderful job.

Can't really think of anything to say. Great song, poor circumstances under which you felt a need to write it. Best of luck, my friend.

Regards,
MJTTOMB.

[§Arbiter§ - Dark Winds]

Lol.

Nice. The only problem, is that if this were played professionally, the stings players would be hunting you down for allowing them to be upstaged by a bottle blower. XD

Very sweet. little theme.

[Rage of the Champions]

Heh, shweet. ("h" intended)

The percussion solo rocked. Very nice melody, good accompaniment by the brass, possibly add some fills with the brass (XD, wrote "bras" the first time), like having them play not just once every measure. I heard only one point where they did so. I liked the staccato strings in the background. Melody was nice, the tubular bells could have been a little more variant during the percussion solo, the one note got a little boring. Overall, great song.

MaestroRage responds:

This song is by far my most percussion heavy, I don't think i've ever done something that uses as much percussion as this!

As for the staccato brass playing only once per measure, it is conceivable to have them play more then that yes, but it also gets messy. I didn't actually try it to be honest... I suppose I should have!

The more I listen to this piece, the more I am convinced a version 2 is necessary...

As for the tubuler bells, I intentionally made them boring to try and emulate some church bells of the sorts, to bring about some more intimidating imagery.

Thank you for the review MJTTOMB! I'm glad you liked it!
