Reviews for "Toccata Per Rollins"

Good sound.

For some reason it wouldn't preview in the audio portal....

Oh well either way great work on this piece.

I have NO freaking idea what Parallel 5ths are(or were) but this sounds good neverless.

I could see this in a Final Fantasy style battle scence.

MJTTOMB responds:

I'm assuming you know what a triad is, but if not, I'll go through the basics really quickly.

A scale has 7 notes. C, E, G is a c major chord, taken from the scale of C major. C is the first, and G is the fifth. If I went from C up to G, that's a parallel 5th. They don't sound bad, they're just boring on the ear.

Thanks for the review.

Speed + Classical = Nice

I like how you have a cross between speedy songs where it's not TOO fast, but theres also some classical. I also like how you made it sort of have some beats, because it sounds like you could almost dance to it. I don't like classical songs, but I have to say that this is one of my favorites so far. I think that you could improve by making it longer and maybe a little bit more than just the 3 beats or so in there. maybe some background music type stuff. I do like this though. MOREEE

MJTTOMB responds:

Always good to get reviews from outside of the normal range of listeners.

Thanks for the advice, I'll be sure to use it in some of my other piano stuff. You should check out "Bittersweet Memories" if you like this. It's basically the same type of piece.

Good composition, crappy piano

The composition itself is pretty solid, doesn't get off track and stays fairly well within the idiom except there's no real cadence at the end. It feels like you just stopped it. Anyway this also suffers from a really weak piano sample (midi?) but the piece itself rises above that. This would benefit greatly from some accompaniment, possibly stings just voice led, very thin and quiet but still underscoring and adding real depth.

Overall its great and I realize that I wrote much more negative than I felt about the piece. It's very solid and has a Beethoven feel to it. Nice work

MJTTOMB responds:

Yeah, there's a fixed version on my music page. That fixed the piano.

I'm probably going to try to remix this with strings, but the key changes so often, and there's a new chord every beat, so strings might be a little hard to write for.

liked it

i love classical piano, so sweet sounding. nice job.

MJTTOMB responds:

Thanks.

Good Classical Music

Overall I like this. I would like to see a little less repition in parts and possibly make it longer, but i think it's a great start.

MJTTOMB responds:

All taken into consideration, all going into the remix.

Thanks for the suggestions and the review.
