The piano music is some of the most beautiful piano music I have heard in my life. And the Orchestral part in the middle, while good seems out of place, like it doesn't connect with the piano. Maybe wikkid's suggestion is correct, but it just seems to go from very sparce, delicate and beautiful to a bunch of stuff all at once. Maybe you could add one instrument at a time and carry the piano into it. Slowly build rather than drastic change?

Hi neuromancer56,
Thank you for coming back again!
As you said, especially on the second half of the piano, there could have a chance of adding a single instrument such as flute or strings that embellish melody line. I did not do it, because the comparison between piano solo, orchestration, piano with single instrument seemed odd in A-B-A form within 2:38 short time. I'll try gradually overlay the instruments on another piece next time. Thanks for your advice.

Thank you for this, MasanoriMurabayashi.
Songs always take me on a journey.
I was riding a calm, contemplative wave with the tender sound of the piano keys,
then as the other instruments came rushing in,
I was pulled into a swirl of nostalgia.
Lovely reflective piece of music.

Hi athousandmaris,
What I was concentrated on this tune was tempo. This tune is based on around 74bpm with let 8 bars interval has a little break with sometime around 80ms. To make soloing piano always give me much more effort that I don't know great piano soloist do it on the real stage. Let's have image of the time feel of music goes on the real stage. Thanks for deep intuitive comment. Have a good day!

You have composed a very, very nice piece of music, Masanori. Piano part is really nicely done. I ca see from your comments that you have a good idea of how to approach this kind of music. I will need to read them carefully so that I can learn from you. I can definitely see this being used in a film. Has a "Bridges of Madison County" feel to it. Music in that film was composed by Clint Eastwood.

Hi Eric!
I'd happy to hearing from you that You too are interested in this kind of film music which describes human emotions behind the images on the screen not so interfere the scene of the moment. We sometimes annoy with the feeling that this melody is so strong or not affecting the videos. I saw 'Bridges of Madison country'. Thank you for generous metaphor.

Hi
I love your choice of key with an emerging dark vibe.
The horn and strings complements track really well.
Great job.

HI, Jamid
I firstly thought key modulation from Am is to be usual Gm, but there is another choice of minor 3rd interval change which found a lot on film music. Lower chello and Contra bass covers root and 5th, while woodwinds covers 3rd and 7th those every film music composers think of. Next time I'ii try another style. Thanks for listening precisely!

Hi,

I kinda wished the sparse piano had continued throughout the piece without the orchestra break. Great job with your choice of key and notes for a feeling of melancholy. I did enjoy the descending harp during the full orchestration. Marking this as a fave.

Hi wikkid,
Thanks for listening my tune several times.
As you said, I might have leave sparse piano on the orchestral part for melody consistency. I keep your good advice in my mind. Descending harp were used penta tonic major 6th scale by soundiron Elrysium Harp instrument. So far, I put each midi notes of scales which consumes time. That is good vst instrument includes glissand function. Have a good day!

Anyway, I have no idea what category to put this in (Ambient ig). This is a mix of Ambient and Orchestral, lmk what you think.
Headphone is actually recommended for this
