Sonata Op.116 n.2 Lam - Live Piano- Marzia Gaggioli (original composition)

Hi, would you like HELPING ME please? :-)
I composed this piece a few days ago... I wrote it in two different times, but I am afraid I did wrong!
the first part in 1/4 and the second in 2/8...do you think it is possible? That's the first time I have this "time in my mind" ...I am a self-taught-composer, I haven't studied music and I play and composed just by ear..
I will appreciate your help a lot! THANKS :-)

Ciao, vorreste aiutarmi?
Ho composto questo pezzo qualche giorno fa...l'ho scritto in due tempi...ma temo che non siano esatti....
la prima parte in 1/4 la seconda in 2/8... è possibile?
E' la prima volta che un tempo simile mi gira nella testa...
sono una compositrice e pianista autodidatta...non ho mai studiato musica, suono e compongo ad orecchio...
sarei felice se potesse darmi un piccolo aiuto :-) Grazie!

Mlarzia, as your newfound "music teacher" here's my answer is the answer to your question. 1st sectionis a very slow 4/4 (that is, 4 quarter notes for each 4 beat measure) The second section changes to and then it changes to a double-time 6/8 (that is 6 quick beats in each measure, with the beats played, mainly, in 8th notes. You piece has some "hold back" rubato (slowing in a liquid manner), especially in your lead-in to the start of a measure. I love this Sonata!

Thank you dear Dick for your help...even if everything sounds like "Greek" to me!! :-)

Have a nice day

Marzia - My last reply had little mistakes (written quickly). Since your Sonata was wonderful, you should NOT worry about putting a label on the beat/meter (1/4 or 4/4 or 6/8 or what have you). I wish my comment regarding 4/4 and 6/8 wasn't "Greek"! The best instruction for understanding would be in person or telephone. (ha ha). What is most important is that passion, rhythm and musical ideas are felt by the listener. I don't want to be a "musicologist". And you don't either! :)

Dear Dick, I'm thankful for your help, when I play I feel free and I don't follow any meter, the problem comes only when I need to write down the music and I must give a beat meter (I use a midi program for writing scores, because I can't read or write music) but anyway if I don't give basic informations as beat meter or key the pc doesn't do anything alone. Anyway, even if I didn't studied, I will try to do my best and improve myself always! Hugs

Your piece sounds great to me. I'm not sure about the 1/4 and 2/8 time to me, but i have never played anything that has that time signature.

@destinybone

thank U very much Angelina!

[Dickkait]

Marzia, more thought for you. Ultimately, you are a Fantastic Composer! The rhythm flows from your heart and feelings as a river. Since your piano is a voice, try to discover when the "breath" comes "in and out". The midi score program can't tell you, but you can know by listening. But then, your own notes might not "obey" the exact beat count for each measure. Don't be alarmed if your notes "violate" the rules of publishing your ideas to sheet music. Above all, keep your music free! DK

Wie lebendig und feurig! Der Tempowechsel ist konstituierend! Applaus!

I think the music is great and have no problem with the change in tempo. I do have one suggestion however, that does not pertain to the music. At the end, when the music is over, stay seated while the final note lingers. Be patient. Let the listeners enjoy for a moment longer. Music is like fine wine. Don't rush us off. Let us savor the music as it ends... then get up and end the presentation.

Wonderful Marzia dear,,,,excuse my delay in commenting....... I have been ill dear.

Getting better now ....so don't worry about me dear.........love you Terry XXX

An exuberant happy piece, full of temperament and elan. As for the tempo, it's perfectly legitimate to change it in the middle of a piece or anywhere else. Many composers did it - Monteverdi for one, as well as a lot of impressionists and moderns. The classics did it less, as the classical style is mathematically accurate, but even there you can find it now and then. Whatever the tempo, your compositions sound so right! It's really a wonder you never studied. Excellent!
