Composition - a short story about a person’s life expressed through an instrument…
I felt like composing something. So, I began playing around with the G scales (major, minor, diminished, etc.) on my piano, and I obtained two completely opposite pieces, or “me’s”, as I like to call pieces based on my feelings.
One of them is mostly in the G major scale, a happy 4/4 tune that hops around and explores the “world” (that sounds like I’m crazy!). Step by step, it gradually advances in speed and complexity, changing sometimes the measure… in a funny and weird way, but always happy. It is completely free. It’s an expression of joy, joy that travels through the melody. He doesn’t care about other’s opinions on him. He just smiles and keeps walking.
The other one is… angry & depressing. Angry with everything. It is dark (using the G minor and diminished scales). It wants to scream, it wants to be alone. It annoys people with its loudness. Repetitive, angry about the same thing, and constantly ruining any possibility of calming down. Then it cries out-loud. He feels hurt, hurt in a way that no one notices but himself.
Maybe it’s a weird way to explain how are these compositions, but I feel like they are an expression of me and my feelings. There’s no other way to explain how they are. Maybe the intentions that the composer adds to the piece is the key to understand what the piece really means…
