Paper Swan - Isen Lark - Cinematic Piano Solo

Hi!

My name is Isen Lark, and I'm happy to share the first composition I decided to publish on Spotify: "Paper Swan".

The paper swan sat by the old piano, its wings curled from time and dust.

Somewhere, a song played softly—one we used to know. The notes wavered, like the swan might lift off, but never did.

Hello @Isen Lark!

Welcome to the forum!

That's a soothing sad music reminds me of Richard Clayderman. It's lovely, maybe you can provide some contrast by modulating to a different key in the middle section out of G minor. But the whole music is enjoyable, nice ending as well!

Would be great if you can also provide the score of your music.

Thx for joining and sharing your music here! You can also visit other membets' posts and possibly leave reviews on them.

Hello @Isen Lark and welcome to the forum!

Your video has a high production value both visually and aurally!  The music is very emotional, although sometimes it strays close to cliche when the bass notes in each measure always move down by step as in the famous Lament bass.  Like Henry said, it would enrich the music if you modulated, or possibly if you used more inversions or unusual harmonies with foreign bass notes.  Like, I like to sometimes have a chord with a bass note underneath that's not the root, 3rd nor 5th or the chord but something more unusual like the 7th, 9th or 11th.  That kind of approach to harmony can really bring some unusual sonorities into your music!  Thanks for sharing this enjoyable piece!
