Bagatelle No.1 in F Major for Piano

Featured Replies

Hello everyone, 

I want to share a Bagatelle I just composed. I composed it all at the piano (my first piece composed in the piano, instead of through Sibelius) and wrote it down afterwards. I posted it on the "Incomplete Works" section as I was having second thoughts about the B section but I ended up not making so many changes and only some improvements here and there.

It is a Bagatelle in F major for piano (thanks to @PeterthePapercomPoser for giving me the clue to find out the style of the piece).

I played it in a Yamaha P-515 digital piano with the Bösendorfer piano sound. Since my playing is not so good I had to record the whole thing in three different parts and then mix them in Audacity. I tried to fix any sound issue that appeared but there are two particular spots that sound strange as I was not able to mix them better, so sorry about that.  Also, I make a couple of mistakes here and there. The good thing is that, since I composed it by playing it myself, it is not a particularly hard piece to play. 

The piece is in ABA' form with the main theme (A) in Fmaj and a contrasting section (B) in Fmin.

Any comment and feedback is more than welcome!

Thank you for listening and hope you enjoy it!

It is a delicate and very beautiful piece.
It also seems to me very coherent in terms of its structure and evolution.
It's a plus that you play it yourself, although for that very reason the notation lacks the "soul" (no dynamics and all that).
A great job.

Thank you so much Luis, I am really glad you liked it! 

I agree that the score lacks soul. I am planning to add dynamics and markings but now since I did not compose it through the software (where I was forced to place dynamics for the midi playback to sound realistic) I am actually not even sure which markings to put that will make players perform it as would like to 😅 I will have to give it some though and add them to make the score looks better. 

Thanks for commenting and I hope everything is going well with you!!
