Piano Orchestral - The Dissimulated Void

[Matthew Scholefield]

What do you think of this music I wrote? It is a film-style piano/orchestral piece. I used a free piano VST and Sonatina Symphonic Orchestra for the samples.

I like it, reminds me of Einaudi or Glass.  It's repetitive in the modern style, with enough change to keep the listener interested.  I'd like to hear more.

Thanks for the feedback. Any ideas on what to add? Should I Add new material at the end so that it's something like an ABACA pattern? (B being most of the song)

If you want to extend it in time, you could easily add a repeat of the A theme first time, so you'd have AABA, where the convention would probably look for some slight change to the theme after the B, so A-A-B-A'.  The addition of a whole new theme would also work, ABACA as you suggest, again with a slight change to the cyclic theme, or as is, rondo form. 

For me, personally, I don't like too many themes is a single movement of a larger piece, like a suite or symphony, but it works well in a single movement structure, so my thoughts would depend on your further intentions for this piece - will it be a part of something larger? 

I think your B theme is sufficiently different not to appear a variation on A, and something like sonata form may work here.  Nice exposition, now work on the development.

Good luck with it.

Totally agree with Alan. And I really like your work !

[Matthew Scholefield]

I greatly appreciate all the meaningful feedback ;-). Especially everything on soundcloud. This will not be part of anything larger. So it sounds like it would be best to stick to a structure close to rondo form. I was thinking of modulating back into the original key in part C.
