And here is another update, at long last - an orchestral piece I composed for my dearest @arialukina 's birthday. This took me just under two months to write, which is an achievement, I suppose, given the effort I put into my last complete work. A study in orchestral textures, this piece is held together by an omnipresent motif of three ascending notes which appears in the very first few notes, as well as its continuation in the first horn solo, which is developed in its own way. The march, of course, is a direct transformation of the first theme, a strange sort of recapitulation. There is the strange modulation from F to Eb as the tonic key, and the coda which, starting from the maestoso, I wrote in a mere seven hours…in stark contrast with the rest of the piece. I have been told that this is distinctly Mahlerian in style, but that remains to be seen.

I have decided to maintain a progress bar of sorts for this work; if nothing else, to keep me sufficiently motivated.

Well.

This took me a few months to compose as I poured my entire being into this work: Many nights have been spent labouring away in front of a computer screen in the process, often until very late. All this for an opportunity for my music to be played live by professionals.

I must confess that even in the end, I was not completely satisfied with the B section (this is in ternary form) but still find myself beyond pleased when I heard the Vasara Quartet perform it. Many thanks to them - I am so very grateful.

Thanks also goes to @buy-bye-bi for helping me out of a dreadful case of writer’s block, and to all my friends, who supported me.

Inspiration came from, as you may already have guessed, the Adagietto in Mahler 5, and the B section had its roots in the Scherzo in Rachmaninoff 2.

100 notes...what is this...how do Actually though - thank you all holy shit I did not think this would happen. Again thank you @buy-bye-bi for the promo!!! You do good things and keep it up ❤❤❤

A quick thing that I did. Note that the title is merely a pun, and in fact this work barely relates to Bach himself.

A casual one this time.

I stayed up...quite late for this. The results are gratifying, however. While not my first composition, this holds a special place in my heart (you know who you are).

p.s. Rather Chopin-esque, but I’m not complaining.

Here is the lovely @tsuki-n-ivoret!

This was actually meant as a birthday present but I wouldn’t have had time in school --
