piano melody

This turned out to be a sort of fun-sounding melody 🙂. Suggestions are welcome!

You manage to make a monothematic piece quite interesting with a well varied harmonic motion and a well placed half-step modulation.  It's very simple but interesting nonetheless or rather because of, how simple it is.  You use the oft used trick of keeping the melody repeating a fragment while changing the harmony underneath.  You bring out many textures and beautiful colors by varying the register of the melody and the way that it's harmonized.  Thanks for sharing this quite enjoyable piece!

Lovely! 👍 The first review sums it up perfectly. It would work perfectly in an animation, or at least it reminded me of pixar scores.

Yes, this is really very nice! I particularly like the new depth that comes in about 0:35, very effective. The diminished chord at 1:23 maybe sounds a little awkward, but it could be the rhythm you've used rather than the harmony.

Great work, thank you for sharing!

Thanks! Yeah, simple melodies are so fun to mess around with! 😄

Hmm, yes, there's quite a bit of dissonance there -- should be an easy fix. Thank you for pointing it out! :0

This is delightful, very nice composition.
