Away

This is Away, for Piano. It's a serious piece I started writing after one of my guinea pigs passed away, although the majority of what I poured into it is other stuff I'm going through. Enjoy.

The first thing I noticed was that you have the pedal down (through measure 59). If you want the pedal down the whole time then the piece is going to come across as muddy. What you could do instead is replace the pedal markings with the phrase "with pedal" or "pedal ad lib." or something similar, then the performer will take care of the rest. This piece feels a little naked to me, but I guess that goes with your theme. The music certainly comes across as heartfelt and I enjoyed listening!

Thanks for your kind words, as well as informing me about the pedal. I don't own a piano (nor could I play it if I did) so I have to go by how Finale tells me it will sound.

Hello, i enjoyed the main melody! It really provokes emotion and thought, pulling you into the song. Good job! I love the ending how it slowly dies away in tone. :)
