very nice piano piece. done well

Beautiful piece. Flows very smoothly. Great chord changes and transitions. Great playing and arrangement.

Lovely chord structure - nice repeated 8 bar ostinato in first section. Good contrast with second section - lovely sequence bringing with it some new and interesting chord sequences. Good development on return to section A's 8 bar ostinato. Interesting development of melody on keyboard when sections return. lovely middle section - nice contrast to other sections - and the high piano with it's descending semi-tonal chord structure is very effective. The keyboard does a nice job of holding the piece together with simple and captivating melodic hooks. Well done!

The brush of the musical paint; a flair of the imagined colors supplanted on the canvas of yearning. The tender qualities we seek; the whisps on the frailties of life. Yonder here. Yonder there. The peace of the heart comes forth from the dreamer's might. Play the heart, play the soul, a quaintness of sweet goes into the bold. Seek the peace, seek the heart, seek beyond the seas of the old.

I really liked your beautiful piano melody. I would just suggest having a little more variation in the arrangement. Like making the percussive elements more interesting in parts. You could have a drop section ( where the strings take over and play the main theme on violin/viola etc ) before the main melody comes in again after being established.

A nice relaxing piece, that reminds one of a gentle morning rain, after which the birds and butterflies come out. A soft gentle breeze, causes the grasses in the field to sway gently to and fro. Nice transitions of the harmonies also.

Nice chord changes. Good melody.
