Nocturne in e minor (miniature)

Featured Replies

Nocturne- E minor.pdf
Hello.
Recently finished this piece and felt it was something interesting to share;
What i feel makes this piece distinct is that its quite heavily harmonically driven, as in the melody doesn't stray far from the current harmonic background;

I'm quite satisfied with the structure, as i feel it keeps the piece interesting and fresh all the way through;
I'm still not sure if i should say this piece is in E minor, as its never really suggested until the very end.

(also this piece used to have a subtitle in early stages, but as i was composing further on it didn't quite stick, so some ideas of what to call it would be nice)


Thoughts and feedback are always welcome.

Enjoy the music.

Hello.
I listened to your Nocturne. The piece is very interesting in its musical language, and it is well constructed in terms of form.
However, it seems to me that this music belongs to the category of works that look clearer and more understandable on paper than they sound. Both in the accompaniment and in the melodic line you use very wide leaps and cover a very large range. For this reason, without the score it’s not always possible to tell where the accompaniment is and where the main figure is. The pulsation in groups of nine also feels somewhat intrusive. But that is probably more a problem of computer playback. A live pianist would most likely play more softly, and that pulsation wouldn’t draw so much attention.
In any case, it’s good, interesting music.
