Small Romance (Prelude in A Major)

A small piano prelude, influenced by Nobuo Uematsu, during the time of FFIX. Pedalling is largely left to the performer's discretion.I think the score might need some tidying up, notating music is not a particular strong point of mine currently, any tips would be greatly welcomed :)I hope you enjoy it.

Hi!

First of all, welcome to YC! Enjoy it here :)

Now, the piece. I liked this. It seemed a bit like movie music, especially with the grace notes and occasional 7ths. It all made sense and was good, but the ending doesn't make sense. Why end this in A minor? Did the lovers break up? Fall off a cliff? LOL. I think ending it on an A major chord would be better.

Good work though! Thanks for posting!

Hi Heckelphone. I started a thread in the introduction forum but I think it's already been buried, so thanks for the welcome

You know it's funny you say that regarding the A Minor ending, it's is exactly what my music music teacher thought when I showed them this some years ago. Why did I choose it? It kind of just felt more natural. A major finish just felt too happy, I thought A minor gave the piece a little more ambiguity, like a reverse tierce de picardie...Maybe they broke up, maybe they fell of a cliff. Who knows.

Maybe I could try leading up to the A minor so it doesn't feel like such a surprise?

Thanks for the feedback!
