Cloud Ame - Piano Solo

Hi everyone, 

I finished a new piano piece called Cloud Ame and wanted to share. I hope you enjoy listening and welcome any feedback!

Thank you

this is a really nice and short piece !! despite how simple it is, i find it fascinating how you manage to use all of the fragmented ideas effectively. for example, how you use the cadence on b15-16 and the subsequent usages of which throughout for the ending and just leave it hanging at the V, it really gives you that floating feeling. add that with the gentle arpeggio, harmonies, and melodies and you've successfully painted a tranquil feeling on the mind

if i could give feedback, i'd probably give ones for the score. maybe it could be given more information such as the tempo, slurs, dynamic, and expression markings

other than that, it's a great piece. i thoroughly enjoyed listening to it. thanks for sharing !!!!!!

A very beautiful piece that sounds intimate and effective.
It sounds like it's being played live, doesn't it?

@ferrum.wav thank you for your kind feedback and anaylsis!

"Fragmented ideas" describe exactly my composing style and process!😄 I am happy you enjoyed the piece and the ideas come through

I intentionally left out the musical expressions and markings out of the score (half of it is me being lazy and the other half is that I think music should be freely interpreted by the player) but I do agree I should add the musical markings to be clear. Maybe in the future if I have  enough songs to publish a book. That is my dream 🙂

Nice and comforting!  What piano sound?

Also there are musical markings to indicate playing 'freely' such as rubato and expressivo, etc

Hi @MichaelJohn, I'm using Noire Pure!

Hi @kaiyunmusic !

Great job with this piece! It's bittersweet-ness is exquisite! I especially love the creative use of hand crossing to give the piece some sparkle in the high range despite keeping the melody in the alto range. The half-cadence at the end is a perfect way to end the piece with a longing for more. Thanks for sharing!
