I remember

I wrote this piece I remember for clarinet and piano.I wrote this piece as i have a best friend who is migrating soon to China.As to remember him I wrote this piece for us.He plays the clarinet part and i play the piano part.We are performing this piece in a lunch time recital soon.

I dont have finale could you post a pdf. of the score?

I find it nice. I think some of the harmonies are nice. I find it so interesting how the piece goes from major to minor..its interesting. I feel like it has a lot of pontential.
Keep it up!

Hello there,

Seconding the already mentioned, scores are extremely useful.
As the pianist, I would have expected you to write a better part for yourself than just chords and filler complementing the clarinet =]
But it is a very flowing and elegant melody. Your clarinetist should be able to pull and push that enough to make it sound very beautiful.

Why do you end it in the minor key? That kind of makes me sad. Is it the musical representation of the emmigration? It should be happy, looking back with nostalgia on all the times in the past.

And the last chord at the end. Since it is a nostalgic piece, it should trail out on the second to last tonic chord. No need to cadence with a Shosti-like bang.

Good piece! Your friend will be thrilled.

Cheers,
Brian

What i really wanted was a sad ending, so i ended the piece with a minor key.I wrote chords because piano was an accopaniment.Clarinet was the solo therefore i do not want to clash with the clarinet and i wanted him to express himself.
