Alone Under The Stars

Hello Guys,

This is a new one. It's a kind of romantic music piece. What do you think?

Hi @olivercomposer,

This is a lovely piece in simple ternary. It does remind me of Richard Clayderman's piano pieces. I love the C dorian opening! The aura there is really starry with that #^6 and making it brighter. The transition to 0:54 can be longer though for me. The middle section I feel like a pop melody repeating in different keys, and I think it's fine for this style, but maybe without the varying orchestral colour you can develop your materials here more! The music goes back at 1:45 and I think the retransition is better prepared here! I love that flat subdominant chord of G invading the territory. The ending is quite beautiful with the plagal cadence on G!

Thanks for sharing!

Henry

Hi Oliver,

You have some lovely modulations in this piano piece again!

If I were to give any criticism, it's that some of your tempo changes don't quite feel natural to me. I think it might be more expressive if the accelerando transitions were a bit more subtle. Occasionally it feels rushed, and you could draw more emotional impact from the music by slowing it down a touch.
