January 2, 20251 yr Hi everyone, this is my new composition, Autumn Leaves. I hope you like it! Edited January 2, 20251 yr by Jackie
January 2, 20251 yr Hi @Jackie! What a wonderful chromatic piece that perfectly reflects the programmatic title! If you have one available I would love to see the score for this and follow along with it while listening. Great job and thank you for sharing such a melancholy miniature!

January 2, 20251 yr 15 hours ago, Jackie said: Done Is it weird that the first word that comes to mind after following along with the score & video audio is the word "Adorable"? 🤣 Reason for that is because of how much your score represents a personal notebook. I like it when people use their own little phrases and staff notes to indicate what to do. Often times, it's even easier for another player to read and play along with it that way. Being someone who's a bit of a perfectionist with the work I write, Personally, I'd have notated the articulations, dynamics, tempo, and used music terms for some of the areas that you have notes marked at. But that's just my personal take on it. You've clearly got your own style mastered, and I applaud you for that, Jackie! Very well done performance, and a pretty lookin' score, to boot! 🙂
January 2, 20251 yr Your performance is great! I love the harmonic direction of your music. It's simple yet elegant, something I always strive for in writing. 🙂 Well done, thanks for sharing!

I have added the score to my original post now. Thank you for your kind words!
January 3, 20251 yr Hi @Jackie, Wow I like this! The opening and ending is lovely with the faxbourdon texture. The main section reminds me of the 1st movement of Beethoven’s op.109, but the mood is completely different here with a bit of sadness. Nice playing too! Thx for sharing! Henry
January 29, 20251 yr Jackie, this is really beautiful! The style, the harmonization, the mood, and your playing- It is all perfect! And I love the simplicity of your piece. Chopin once said that one should strive to write simple music (and so he did). When listening to you music, I was almost urged to add a voice line to it, and arrange it into a song. What do you think about this idea? Thanks again for posting this wonderful piece
