November 5, 201015 yr A very short piano piece influenced heavily by Japanese and Jazz harmonies. Wrote this as a catharsis when I was going through a "break-up." I hope to expand the theme some day. Enjoy! Dear Beloved
November 8, 201015 yr Hey Norman! Welcome to YC! Your piece is very soothing and I love your progressions. I love the mood. I just wish it was longer!!! Yeah...I would continue with this one it has great potential in my opinion. Sometimes I feel like a lot of compositions posted on the forum seem pushed as if the composer is trying too hard but this piece runs very smoothly. Good luck in your future compositions!

Yeah I really hope to extend it too but the song is associated with a lot of negativity for me so when I wrote it, it was to purge those emotions. It's hard going back :P When I'm comfortable, I'll definitely go back and lengthen the piece.

So I gave it a second listening and I think I can here it now...a little bit of pain in there. But it's very beautiful! :)
November 9, 201015 yr Author My aim for the piece was to create a bittersweet nostalgic feeling where I remember both the good times we had but ultimately the painful and tainting knowledge that I'm no longer with a loved one. I was also trying to convey a sense of "moving-on" by having the pleasant moments overshadow the bitter ones, as if the bad memories no longer pull on my heart strings with great force. The beginning 2 chords is meant to invoke a reminiscent mood only to get defiled by the knowledge of loss (I added the dissonant 7th here to emphasize it).

November 11, 201015 yr I liked this. I think the opening chords are well chosen. It did feel like this piece was just an opening (up to 0:50) and then the piece is actually going to start. You should make this longer, if only for the sake of the piece itself. Maybe instead of the arpeggio at 1:10 stay with that thought of giving it some more and definite movement, but elaborate on that. It's all so freely moving with a lot of sighs, but to balance things out I think it could really use a part with some definite movement. Maybe introduce a theme here or something... Good job
