2nd Composition - 12 tone.

My second piece is a freely atonal composition adopting the twelve tone method. For this piece, I am not only using the twelve tone technique, but also serialism and syncopation. 

Explanation;

The whole idea behind the twelve tone technique isthat the notes in the tonal piece were organized in such a way that no one tonecan be repeated until all eleven others had been used.  Serialism is part of the twelve tone methodwhere a recurring series of ordered elements is manipulated to give a pieceunity. I used syncopation to make the melody a bit different and surprising.For example, after a section of crochets, I put in a different note at the end. My composition is divided into two partswith different form. I used the combinatorial form for the first section andthe second section is in the form of prime series. I used the different formsindependently in order to create a contrasting sound. In my first piece, forthe harmony, I arranged the notes in prime series and its retrograde form. 

Reason of composing this piece;

-It is different from the general music piece which follow the rule of being 'tonal'.

1st Composition - Waltz.

*Above images are the scores of this piece. Music at Jukebox.*

*My compositions have no connection with the photographs.*

This is the first piece that I composed. It has no specific form.  The melody wasinspired by Maurice Ravel’s Bolero where he created long and winding phrasesfor the piece. The arrangement of chords for the harmony part was inspired byChopin’s Minute Waltz.

Reason for composing this piece;

- Waltz is one of my favourite genres. I feel that waltz music are soothing and pleasant that helps the mind to relax.

- Piano was used as I was inspired by Frederic Chopin because he only used piano for his compositions to have a smooth texture in his music.
