Can't wait to hear ur knew piece.
I feel a bit guilty about not uploading any music for u to hear a taste of my music...
2 factors come into play.
the weaker one:..
I have no recording equipment..and no place to properly record it,l there is always background music, from a stray television set, dogs barking, random conversation, party neighbors, and my house is right underneath a popular air space for an airport....
poor excuse, becasue there is sure to be a recording space somewhere around, but I can't find one on the regular trips around town. And the equipment, I'm sure they cost around 75-100 bucks for a decent set, that's still alot of money when ur on a budget.
2nd one, which I find to hold more impact..:
The rules.
Being that I can only compose from sheet, It is not my music and not original to me. FAQ states that they have to be orignal, but I've never got around to starting a fuss about it.
I completely agree that composing is a slower process than learning. When learning a piece, it's basically just play, play play, repeat, play some more...then think about how the piece flows and adjust to that as needed.
Composing, I've noticed, needs repetition, but can be easily changed and forgotten completely by accident, and even if ur recording it on sheet, every time u go play it changes from the last time.
Thinking about it, it is extroadinory that people like Mozart and such can have a somewhat clear picture of what they are going to do, and do it over and over again.

i'm a bit confused....
how are u able to do complicated pieces, and struggle with beggining pieces?
seems somewhat flip-flopped to me....
tolerateu
kinda jealous
really wish i can compose music.
I think of different music and how to mix and match, but draw a blank as soon as i dit infront of the piano.
Use ur skills wisely, young Skywalker....
Musical-Memoirs
i know some main reasons (there are a lot more though) why some musicians are not able to compose music themselves
one of the reasons that blocks you forever is the lack of creativity, but if you have something in your head already then thats houldnt be the case here, luckily
another reason is being a too skilled player already
some musicians can play beautiful music, sometimes very complicated music too... those people are so far that they wont be satisfied by something simple (and i mean something really simple (i could show you a lot of projects that i deleted long ago from here already or some pieces i never uploaded because they were so simple, yet with a lot of mistakes))
playing music and composing music are two different things (with similarities of course), both need different training... after all the time writing music (the electronic pieces are the same) i am only now at the level to make things in my head into reality a little, but even now, i can have beautiful ideas in my head but simply cant make it in reality (i dont even come close to what i wanted)
you just need to make a few small things of a few seconds while not being critical at all then slowly working to bigger and bigger... or try to improvise and simply continue no matter what mistake you make till you end up at some part you might be able to work on
but one thing is sertain... composing takes way more time then learning a piece, while not even achieving the results you wanted/expected to even when you dont mind it being simple... improvising is the only fast way, but at least 50% of my improvisations are completely useless whiteout any nice second and not even 5% survive it to sound kinda nice for longer then 30 seconds from the 5-10 minutes i usually improvise
while you are jealous about my composing, im jealous about you piano playing, though i never heard it i just know it would be way better then i am, even though im able to play some very complicated pieces, im still struggling with the beginner pieces xD

and something else...
a piano piece i have been working on for a few weeks is finally 'finished'
i am amazed how much i have progressed in many ways
hopefully i can still record it today to show you, since that newest piece is my pride
may the Force be with you!!!
