December 18, 20178 yr Hi, I'm a classical trained piano player. However, since I listened to Yiruma's piano music, I was inspired to start my own composition :) My friend commented that this composition, After Rain, is like "Bach Meets Yiruma" piece since overall it has classical vibe but towards the end it goes emotional. Here is the link: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=AijLtevhAwM Let me know what you think. All opinions and feedback are really appreciated! Thanks a lot!
December 26, 20178 yr It's a nice romantic piece, although standard in the progressions. Some change would make a different moment.
December 29, 20178 yr Watch out for your nonharmonic tones sometimes, as they create dissonances I'm not sure you want, like a m9 in a iii chord, with a passing tone in the high melody. The time changes were effective but sometimes a little too obvious for my taste... that could just be a me thing though. It's what I like about Prokofiev Symphony 5. I agree with Luis's comments about the harmonic language... bVI's, bVIII's, and v's could be a fun thing to play around with for similar things in the future.
December 30, 20178 yr Author Thanks a lot for the comment and suggestion. Yes, I agree that it's quite standard progression, since I tried to do variation only in its tempo, and overall I wanted to create something that simple and easy listening. But I think it's true that it can be more interesting if there are some changes. I'll take note! Thanks again :)
