Hey, I tried writing a piece on finale (for piano) and I'm worried that it sounds bad. I made it up entirely on the piano improvising, but I think as a result the form is really bad. Also, my friend said some of the harmonies at the end of what I have so far (measures 9-11) sound like a "wierd tea party". But with that part I was going for romantic and building in tension alot. Also, pay no attention after measure 11. Anyway, I would appreciate people letting me know if I need to fix things already, and if the end of it thus far is like a "wierd tea party".

Here it is

For whatever reason, it's not letting me download it. I can't even click on your file. Is it my computer, or did something go wrong? How about you try it and let me know?

Perhaps that will work. It's on finale and I don't know how to get an audio otherwise.

I know it's not a very good piece, but what I am especially worried about is the modulation at measure 9 sounding abrupt.

I really hope somebody else is reading this besides us (it looks like we're the only two here!), cuz I don't know crap about computers. I had to get help putting that pdf. on the shared file link!

If you're on a Mac, you can save as PDF from the print dialogue.

Otherwise, your best bet is to export the piece as a MIDI file from Finale.

If you click on File, there should be an option to Save As Audio File. You can just save it as an mp3 file.

Hiya. I have Finale, but it's 2006!! Maybe save as PDF and/or export MIDI as Kreisler suggested?

Hey, here's an audio version of what I have of my piece so far. I think it's "apple audio file" so it must only work on macs?
