Dance Of The Moonlit Clouds (Piano solo)

Hi everyone,

This is my latest piano composition, dance of the moonlit clouds. I believe it has influences like classical and more modern piano music.

I could describe this track as:
A night scene with the clouds dancing under the moonlight, carried away by the wind...enjoy!

You can listen to it here:

I have also added the pdf score to this post.

Thank you!

Hey Elma! Nice start in a lot of areas. Is this something you’re looking for feedback on? If so, what level of feedback?

Yes i would like to have feedback on my composition. Particular areas of interest, how you view it's changes in motifs and melodies and your overall opinion as a piano piece!

Thanks for the opportunity to provide feedback, and sorry I think I forgot about your reply. I just rechecked my notifications and found yours, so here are my comments. Hopefully this isn’t too late.

First off I think you have a lot of nice ideas. You have a composer’s intuition, and these ideas sound like things I would have written when I was first starting. You have a nice sense of melody and accompaniment, and each of the phrases seems to pair the melody with an accompaniment pattern or echo pretty well. I think this is a high quality start to future composing yet to come.

Finding it’s already good, I think each of these ideas of yours could actually become their own pieces. Changing meters so often makes it sound like a separate thing, so could you consider making a separate piece out of something like measures 1-16?

Then I think the next easy improvement in quality would be varying up your melodic and harmonic pacing. It sounds like each idea has a similar feel for 3 or 4 measures out of the phrase, so could you look into some of Ryan Leach’s videos on Period and Sentence form? Here’s one: 

Cheers, and happy composing:)

Could you please let me know if any of that was helpful?
