@@armany1999 Thanks a lot! :D And yeah, I get that a lot about my endings. I’m working on it. <3

Thank you so much, I really appreciate it! (= I get what you mean about the short climax. You can learn counterpoint and fugal composition in half a year, but the intricacies of buildup and release you keep learning all your life.

Thanks a lot! :D

@@averynhiell You're welcome! I've actually heard a number of your pieces here and there; your music is wonderful and inspiring to a fellow composer like me.

@@MitchBoucherComposer Thank you so much! I recognise you, you have already written quite a few comments. I appreciate that a lot! :D

@@mohamedplayz3995 Thank you so much, I really appreciate it! :D I used MuseStrings from the MuseSounds library, it’s free if you have Musescore Studio 4, but you have to download it manually.

Thanks a lot! ^^

@@ianholloway3778 I’m sure there is magic involved.

@@QlomoOfficial Thank you so much, I appreciate that a lot! :D I will try and check out some of your works.

I’m sorry. xD

Thanks a lot! ^^ I think I used the grace notes purely for playback reasons. If I remember correctly, I didn’t like the sound of the mordents in this version of Musescore 4.

@@averynhiell That's fair enough. Sometimes, if I don't like the way the computer plays an ornament, I'll still put it on the score but make it not play in the properties pannel. Then add the right grace notes but make them invisible.

@@inanis9801 I do that, too. But sometimes I’m too lazy. xD

@ Yeah I feel that. Sometimes I'll finish a score then realise there was a problem with it. I tell myself, "I'll fix it the next time I open the score." I have a string quartet which hasn't been opened for four years and I still know what I want to change.

@@inanis9801 Haha, relatable.

@@ebu6880 Thank you! I get that a lot. xD

@@averynhiell yeah because it's impressive LOL it would've taken me quite a bit of work to come up with a solution for a subject like that

@ Thank you so much, I really appreciate that! ^^

Thank you so much! :D

I have had a private music teacher for almost three years now who taught me most of what I know about music theory. Before that, I had piano lessons for a dozen or so years but learnt very little compared to the last three years.

@@Counterpoint4fun Thank you so much! :D I love it when people appreciate specific aspects of a piece. I was myself very pleased with how this modulation turned out. It took me quite a while to get it right. ^^

@@냥이대마왕 Thank you! :D

Thank you, it’s nice when details like this are appreciated! ^^

Thanks a lot! ^^

I got my connections. (;

Thank you! ^^ The title is similar by accident, and I hadn’t heard the piece before, so no, it’s not a reference. (:

While it may be a matter of taste how effective the device is here, I employed it quite on purpose. (: The d in the middle voice is a so-called suspension, which is resolved two eigth-notes later. The same thing happens in bar 25, btw. The harmony is already c-minor in the second half of either bar; the suspension just adds a little more gravity, in my opinion.

¡Jajaja! xD ¿Dónde, por ejemplo?

@@DPNack_ These are not actually considered parallel octaves, it is called “doubling”, which is when two voices are completely parallel (usually in octaves) for a longer stretch. (:

@averynhiell oh I see now thanks

@@Andscool Thank you! ^^ I switch between the two versions, depending on what instrumental sound works best for the piece at hand in my opinion. But I’m certainly biased towards MS3 because I’m already used to it and have a whole bunch of customised palettes and key-shortcuts there. Also, MS4 feels more unwieldy to me. And while it has certainly richer playback options, it also has issues with playback that MS3 doesn’t have. But there are a couple of pieces on my channel which I recorded with MS4. Do you have no issues with MS4?

@ oh I definitely have some issues with MS4, especially with the performance and playback. For some reason, when a score has a lot of instruments and/or is really long, the performance completely tanks. The playback has this weird faint sound that comes after a note is played on piano, and is most noticeable in the lower register. However everything else works great for me, I just am excited to be able to add custom SmuFL fonts in 4.5 because I’m not a huge fan of most of the ones offered currently.

@@Andscool There you go. ^^ I want to concentrate on the music, not on appeasing a stubborn software.

@@alindmay Thank you so much, I appreciate it a lot! <3

@@wheelmanmitch Thanks a lot! (= I wasn’t aware of this, thank you for pointing it out. I don’t see why it should be necessarily easier to read, though. Tuplets are always relative to the amount of time they stretch, which you have to parse while reading. Dotted eights are always exactly the same length. I find it hard to imagine that this should be more than a personal preference, but I am by no means an expert on notation. Would you care to elaborate? (:

@@compositeur8455 Thank you! ^^ I’m still on the search for my own voice, experimenting with different styles. Glad you appreciate it! :)

Grazie mille! :D È un'ottima osservazione! Mi sento più a mio agio nelle tonalità minori. Ma sto cercando di scrivere di più in chiave maggiore.

@@jackhughesbooks Thanks a lot, I appreciate it! :D

@@lotavio343 Thank you so much! :D

@@alicewyan Thank you! ^^ It is customary for writing fugues to write one for every key. I try to space out the keys evenly.

@@marcovaleriogalbiati9460 Thank you so much! :D This is Musescore Studio 3. For some other videos, I used version 4, for playback reasons. (:

@@rubm3907 In some of my videos, I use Musescore 4, with special VSTs/soundfonts. But somehow, the dynamics are very weak, at least in the soundfonts I have tried out. So, if I want a fugue to have very expressive dynamics, I fall back on Musescore 3. Was that your question?

@averynhiell almost🙈 I meant that it would be cool to combine all this into a DAW, add effects to absolutely convey the beauty of the music

@@rubm3907 Ah, I see! ^^ There are a few MIDI-renditions of different pieces on my channel: ua-cam.com/play/PLCpNpMDytYKPukMxYiCRXsPDD4iApyAGA.html&si=pZQqBqdlempj_5f2 But I didn’t create them. Some of them were made by freelancers from Fiverr who I had actually paid to play them manually. When I uploaded the recordings, someone pointed out to me that they are most certainly mockups. The same person then created mockups of two or three other pieces for free, but it didn’t seem worth the effort at some point. And I’m not tech-savvy nor interested enough to attempt to learn it myself. 🙈

Thank you! ^^ I didn’t know this soundtrack, but I kinda see what you mean,. (:

@@averynhiell By the way, have you studied composition full time or are you self taught? How long have you been composing? I'm really blown away by your work.

@@cornelisvreeswijk186 Thank you! ^^ I have a private teacher who is also a music professor at university. He has been giving me lessons since March 2022. I don’t think I could have come far without him.

@@wanderlngdays I usually make a tonal answer if the subject suggests one, but I don’t always follow this rule if I feel like it doesn’t serve the music but rather obstructs it (like in my Raindrop Fugue, where I modulate already before the answer).
