So, Mozart's my favorite composer, and his piano works are my favorite. As a person going through rough times right now, nothing cheers me up like a Mozart work.
July 28th, due to some circumstances beyond my control, I was really down, and decided to sit down at my piano and tickle the ivories. We had no electricity, and it was incredibly hot and humid, so I just spent some time trying to come up with some stuff. With my love as inspiration, along with the need for something to cheer me up, I came up with this main idea, and have been tweaking ever since.
Twenty-Kate Sorry for the low quality recording, not exactly professional equipment. :p The piano is also in need of a light tune as well.
So, about the piece. As I said, I am heavily influenced by Mozart, and I think when you listen to this, it's clear. No, not because it's masterwork, far from it, but it's got qualities, negative or positive, that may resemble Mozart. On top of that, around 2:25, I kinda give a little Eine Kleine Nachtmusik's 2nd theme.
I'd love constructive criticism in the sense of what you like and don't like, but let it be known now. It's very repetitious, I know that. It's very full of "pointless" scale-like figures, it's not imaginative. The "Finale" starts at around 2:51, and it's really just the same thing over and over, but making it somewhat climatic as it switches to eights, then to triplets, then to 16ths and 32nds. Basically, it's just me creating something that makes me smile. That was my aim.
PS, I named it "Twenty-Kate" as a pun, 28, the day of July I started the piece, and Kate, a special person to me.
Really, the piece could also be called, "Rape in A-Major" because it's really just me abusing the A-Major scale. :p
Anyhow, tell me what you think. Should I make some sheet music and post it as well?
Thanks! I hope you enjoy it.
