Nocturnes are almost always written in minor.

Expand upon it some more, add in some development, and then try reposting it for us to hear, because it really has potential.

You mean g minor and Bb major but I agree. You can't call something minor when it is major unless you want people to think you don't know what you're doing. And I don't see why anyone would want that. It's evident from the writing that you do know how to write a nice little piece. It could do with a bit more development however to lengthen it out a bit.

Oops... didn't even notice that I had written Eb instead of Bb... sorry!

Regardless... My other comments still apply.

Nice little piece...and...

Yes I do:

A very nice and elegant classical peice you have here. This would be great for piano students (I can just picture a little girl playing this, every once and a while stuttering for the next note ), but, just like others have said, it needs to develop more... it seems almost too short. You've written what can almost be a song. And in songs, 999 times out of 1000 (maybe more), you hear the main thought repeated in some shape or form as a second verse, and even a third verse (which could be repetitive here). I didn't hear the main theme ever again! I think if at :40, you used that arpeggio to lead back into the melody and add a "B" section, you could have a nice peice!

AND- it IS in B-flat major. You do use one G minor chord, but it dissapates quickly, and the peice doesn't end with it. So, it is in B-flat.

Now don't get me wrong; This peice is very good in more ways than one. Don't be discouraged, because you have the base for a good peice of music!

hmm i tihnk you'll find its about even, the vast majority of Field's nocturnes were in major, and this one is in DbMajor, rest assured, i play it

Agreed, didn't sound minor at all, but great piece very happy sounding in fact.

This is quite a simple, charming piece. It gives me a feeling of peace. it's also something that I could play (I'm an amateur pianist, and sightread at a lower level).

Perhaps expand on your theme, it's quite charming and sing-able. Perhaps, you may want to transition into G minor, or as others said , add more verses.
