I like the complex interweaving of the melody and the bassline. Wondered toward the end about what strategy you were going to use to resolve the sequence... ended rather nicely, I think.

*blush* Thank you.

My last few attempts to compose failed because I was trying to be too complex -- and it sounded muddled. I started writing this piece to create a piece "as simple as I could..."

..

Obviously, I failed at being simple. But at least it's NOT muddled. The harmony is very clear.

I think it's a good balance.

I was listening to some R&B station just the other day and thinking how it all sounded... so... SAME. It's sort of like "wall to wall Byonce" without much content. And then I thought about the Beatles and how their music was so distinctive (and Led Zepplin, and Santana) and why it was so satisfying to listen to a few hours of the Beatles. Your mind would have registered differences in the songs ("information", if you will.)

The others.... no... it would be hard to register "information" if you weren't listening for it.

Although there are times when I like straight melody (thinking about Gregorian chants and work songs and so forth), but many times I want something a little deeper.

I think that's why I really like Leslie Fish's songs.

Yes, it's very clear, and well done!

Thank you!

Oooh, this is simple, yet all over the place. interesting to listen to, I enjoyed it!

I'm glad that you enjoyed it!

Strange.. there isn't much "woe" in your composition - it sounds quite courtly and engaging rather than tragic. (I have to admit. by your title, I was half-expecting scaled-down Tchaikovsky. I'm happy to be in the wrong. ^_^)

Well, half the song IS minor chords!

What's still shocking to me: on paper, this piece's structure is very, very strong. The chords and the rhythms used are repeated frequently, in concert with each other.

When I play the piece, the structures are very subtle, and the piece is much more complex than I expected.

sounds like it came from zelda

Huh. I never thought about that, but you're right. It does. Especially the instruments.

I like the composition. I think there needs to be a bass counterpart or some cello that sets the mood of the piece. That's the only thing that's missing.

Lovely counterpoint. Beauteous.

Happiness! Joy!

Thank you for the kind words.
