Albumblatt no 2 and no 3

Hello to all . 

Here 2 of my albumblatt pieces . Very short pieces . I hope you like it 

These are both lovely.  I especially like No. 2.  No. 3 sounds like it could be a good theme for variations.  My only small complaint, and perhaps this is just me, is that to my ear it sounds like we've moved into D flat at the end of the second phrase, and the final A flat chord feels like it wants to resolve to D flat to me.

Hello my dear friend and thanks for your attention. I'm glad that you like them. 

About your complaint. Can you specify me the exact bar just to give you my point of view and explain it to you ? 

Thanks a lot 🙏 

No. 3 has a Schumannesque feel ...  "Kinderszenen" (Scenes from Childhood), Op. 15 ... It's quite lovely.

Thank you so much my dear Friend. 

Schubert and Schumann are the composers who influences me most so Always in my music you can hear them. 

I'm glad that you like it

I mean the very end of Albumblatt 3.  I've listened to it a few times now, and every time, that final A flat chord feels like a dominant to me; my ear wants it to resolve to a D flat.

Why though. It feels very natural to me that ends to A. last 2 chords is V7 and I. The chromatic voice probably confused you because it happens a bit unexpectedly. In general, all the voices — and especially the melody — lead to the tonic. You are the first guy who thought it like this and I don't know why 😊
