This is likely my most Kapustin-esque piece yet - Golden Surge!

Came up with another short prelude today: Prelude in G Minor!

If you liked some of the bagatelles in my Advent Calendar last year, you might like this, too, as it's in roughly the same style as the jazz mini-pieces in there: my Jazz Miniature in E Flat Major!

Turns out I need more practice composing slow music, so I composed this Slow Minuet in B Flat Major today!

Here's a pretty darn fast piece - Toccata No. 3 in C Minor ("Record Speed")!

Composed a little Scarlatti-like sonatina today - Sonatina in G Minor!

Here's my first composition of 2023 - Beachside Races for the tropical beach racetrack of a hypothetical racing game!

Yet another Advent, yet another two-pianist arrangement of a public domain Christmas carol...this year, it's "Deck the Halls"'s turn with Deck Those Jazzy Halls!

Did this set of rockin' variations on Paganini's Caprice in A Minor, Op. 24, No. 1 for a contest, actually - here's Romp On Paganini!

This monothematic sonata-allegro is actually in a syncopated, more pop-like style for a change, and just like most other monothematic sonata-allegros, its first and second theme groups diverge quite quickly from their shared opening phrase - here's my latest piece, Sonata-Allegro in C Major ("One Start, Many Paths")!

Wow, this is my first rag in over 4 years...here's that rag, Trick-or-Treat Rag!

[The Azure Tree Stands in Mourning]

NinSheetMusic's latest arrangement contest just announced winners, so now I can finally post this!

• Google Drive MP3: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1AONkZuZxayqLdQa2aLvVliclDc9ldBbr/view?usp=sharing

It's a more relaxing, "de-bossified" arrangement of "The Azure Arbitrator", the final boss theme of The Legend of Heroes: Trails to Azure.

Might be redundant given the post above, but here's my latest composition - the jazz-influenced Waltz No. 2 in C Major!

[Waltz No. 2 in C Major]

Welp, looks like I hit the character limit for the 1st post - here's where my latest compositions are listed!

Classical
Waltz No. 2 in C Major

• Musescore: https://musescore.com/user/9996931/scores/8589662

Composed for a contest, this jazz-influenced waltz is based on a not-so-orthodox chord progression involving ♭VII-V.

Sonata-Allegro in C Major ("One Start, Many Paths")

• Musescore: https://musescore.com/user/9996931/scores/8940730

Like some others, this sonata-allegro has a monothematic exposition...that actually has its first and second theme groups both diverge quite quickly from their shared opening phrase, just like other monothematic sonata-allegros. Therefore nicknamed "One Start, Many Paths", this piece is syncopated, energetic, and optimistic.

Sonatina in G Minor

• Musescore: https://musescore.com/user/9996931/scores/9858289

This light Scarlatti-like sonatina is not too demanding and is reminiscent of a lilting dance.

Slow Minuet in B Flat Major

• Musescore: https://musescore.com/user/9996931/scores/10422310

This slower-than-average minuet carries its own elegance and grace.

Prelude in G Minor

• Musescore: https://musescore.com/user/9996931/scores/11044255

This march-like prelude keeps a stiff upper lip but is fairly easy to play.

Quick Dance in D Minor

• Musescore: https://musescore.com/user/9996931/scores/11385973

This swift dance makes dancers go at breakneck speed!

March in E Major

• Musescore: https://musescore.com/user/9996931/scores/14285737

This Neoromantic march has some daring key changes.

Prelude in C Minor

• Musescore: https://musescore.com/user/9996931/scores/14679319

With its rapid-note runs, this prelude can be tricky to play at times.

Sonata-Allegro in E Flat Minor ("Alla Scherzo")

• Musescore: https://musescore.com/user/9996931/scores/15288961

Composed for a contest, this sonata-allegro is in the style of Chopin's scherzos.

Etude in G Sharp Minor ("Quintuplets")

• Musescore: https://musescore.com/user/9996931/scores/17729239

This etude helps you practice quintuplets, occasionally with nasty cross-rhythms with the left hand.

Scherzo Classico

• Musescore: https://musescore.com/user/9996931/scores/20032225

This lighthearted scherzo echoes the style of early Beethoven.

12 days of Christmas, 12 pieces (actually not all classical), all 24 keys!

Concert Band & Marching Band
Rolling Along March

• Musescore (Original for Piano): https://musescore.com/user/9996931/scores/12025420

In the style of turn-of-the-20th-century American marches, this march indeed merrily rolls along.

Ragtime
Trick-or-Treat Rag

This shockingly deliberate rag, composed for a contest, aims to evoke the atmosphere of trick-or-treating during Halloween.

Desert Trip

• Musescore: https://musescore.com/user/9996931/scores/12444454

Mostly based on a short B-C chord progression, this jazz trio piece sultrily weaves around and has an extended solo.

Cream Soda "Rag"

• Musescore: https://musescore.com/user/9996931/scores/12879643

Influenced by Billy Joel's Root Beer Rag and Max Keenlyside's Caffeinated Rag, this straight jazz piece bounces along with foxtrot-like rhythms at a breakneck pace.

On Starscapes

• Musescore: https://musescore.com/user/9996931/scores/25030741

My first 8-bit composition (although I have tried an 8-bit arrangement before): 8-Bit Credits! Yeah, it's for a hypothetical video game.
