Hello!! Hope everyone's having a great Monday! Here's a positive piano piece to start the week! ^_^

This is awesome....

 

I love it.. keep going

Hello @BC345!

Very beautiful and nostalgic piano writing!  If your melody had more unity it could serve as a very memorable and inspirational theme for a video-game!  I know I've said this about your music before but it really reminds me of Chrono Trigger - especially the ending at the fair music which has a very similar vibe to your piano piece.  Have you ever thought of writing a piece with more instruments but with a piano lead like in this piece?  It could be even better!  Thanks for sharing.

Hello

I think this piece is very captivating and well written.
What I would like to point out, although it is a personal issue perhaps, is that in a piece of this length, let's say standard, the fixed eighth note accompaniment pattern throughout can get a bit monotonous.
One should always try to look for the contrast, but address it in a safe and really transitional way, which is not easy sometimes. That's why, and I say this from my own experience, we stay in a fixed pattern.

Thanks, Peter! I've played Chrono Trigger -- there is some Yasunori Mitsuda influence for sure. ^_^
Hmm, I'll try experimenting with full arrangements, though it does get much harder with 3+ instruments, it might take a while haha.

Yeeah, totally agree, it's always a challenge to introduce change in a smooth way.
Ooh, now that you mention it, I remember that some songs stop the rhythmic elements, then play the main theme slowly with minimum accompaniment, and it sounds really pretty -- I should definitely try that. ^_^

I think bringing back the original melody at the end would have a great effect
