"Hi Saul, thank you for the feedback! I agree with you for this piece regarding the pauses, I think I am going to try to connect some sections differently.

"Thank you Liz, Ingo, and Gerd for your kind comments! I am very glad you enjoyed it :) I was nervous that people weren't going to like it, it's kind of a new approach to me, so I'm glad to hear this.

"Thank you for the feedback. Indeed I have been told the same about the pauses. For this particular work, it is what I intended originally, to create some tension and release. When I play it myself, it sounds better to my ears, but it is a subjective…"
"Thanks again for the comment! I have been told the same thing about the pauses from many people, I do see your point of view. I am going to try to record it properly, because I feel it sounds better with more resonance from the…"
"Thank you for your kind comment Dane! I do have a particular fondness of night pieces, and your description is quite appreciable too. I am glad you enjoyed them.

"I don't get the pauses I have said the same thing on your other work. I think you need to create more cohesive and complete phrases. "
"Hi Francois,
I don't understand what is the purpose of those rests. It seems to me like someone is walking towards somewhere and stops from time to time but I don't understand why. The music is not giving me any clues, so maybe you can…"
"Wow, François, what a haunting nocturne - wonderful! This piece conveys such a beautiful lightness with its sublime harmonies and tender phrasing. I love it!
Gerd"
"Very nice Francois, harmonically interesting with some gently eccentric phrasing. The style sounds familiar but is still your own. I enjoyed it."
"This is a lovely piece! Very much a nocturne, rather Chopinesque, full of beautiful modulations and harmonic inflections. The pulse is unusual and a bit hard to make out - in fact, without the score I would be hard pressed to figure out whether it…"
"Hi, Francois,
These are simply lovely pieces. Very late-night, dreamy, ethereal - quite the kind of pieces I'd love to play after midnight in the atrium of a mansion (if I had one!) I could imagine someone in a long gown standing listening on a…"
"This was the one piece of the 3 that I found difficult because of the pauses. Sure, it's beautiful in its way and you modulate around bar 52. Another night piece and although seeming easy to play would need quite some control to play with just…"
Summer Winds - Completed version
Hello,I have posted the imcomplete version of this piece about two weeks ago. It was the first 2 minutes of the version here. I have since then completed it, and attached it here. I'm not sure how I feel about it, I might do some modifications, but I thought it'd be great to have some opinions about it. Any feedback is very welcome.(P.S. Around measure 35 there is a notation issue I have to fix yet)FrançoisSee More
"Thank you for the comment. I am going to post the completed version very soon actually."
"The feel of the music captures perfectly the intent. I have no comments on it because I have no idea where you intend to take it. Nice work though!
When complete I might look to mix it more realistically, though I can understand that this represents…"

- Hello, I am an amateur composer from Canada. I have been playing piano for over 10 years, but I started composing some 5 years ago. My style has changed over the years, I would describe it now as a mix of romanticism and impressionism. I like lyrical melodies, so I try my best to attain that in my pieces. I don't have a professional formation in composition, (I've only recently started to learn more about the theory of composition), so I hope to benefit from feedback from the forum members, who seem to be knowledgeable in this topic. I would also like to contribute to the best of my ability to helping other members, although the extent of my feedback might be limited as I am not a professional musician.
