"Reminiscence"

This is a nocturne in the key of D-flat major. Obviously, has lots of Chopin influences, but I was also influenced highly by listening to the works of Wieniawski.I've been working on this and a few other pieces for weeks now, trying to refine and redefine my musical "sound." What do you think?By the way, this piece was indeed, inspired, by walking through a graveyard late at night and contemplating how the families and friends of the deceased must feel whenever they visit their dead father's, mother's, cousin's, best friend's, life partner's... etc. So this is both a bittersweet goodbye to the dead, and also an uplifting promise to see them one day again.

"Reminiscence"

This was a nice listen, Jeremy :)

Some things I liked about it were the bittersweet feel you were going after -- it worked well for me. (Parts of the progressions reminded me of Daniel's Viejecita/"Old Woman" Piece, particularly bars 13-14) Contemplative, yet sensitive :nod:

Some things I weren't crazy about were some little things, like the slide at 16. It didn't seem to suit the mood very well. Also, the melodic direction seems more complicated than necessary -- it's all over the place. Simpler melodies, easier to remember, tend to work better for pieces like this.

Thanks for sharing :D
