I wrote this several days ago. All in all it probably took around 2 hours to complete. Structure is basically ABAB. In the morning, when I began the piece, I was thinking about water, hence the repeated chords, but then the day was very emotional for me and I realized it was love I was expressing as I finished it. I didn't have the cello part at all originally but when I sat down to look at it at night I realized it needed something and that was it. I love writing duets like that. I didn't really use any "techniques" because I'm still pretty much a beginner and entirely self-"taught".
water, love.MUS
