Sometimes I feel like I'm suddenly really eager to get all this music out there, but at the same time I don't want to wait a while and prolong posting just to put up something like this piece. It's not my favourite or best, but I still enjoy it.
Okay, here's the story:
I wrote this piano solo over three years ago before I had any sort of music training beyond the basics of song harmony. It was Christmastime, the end of the semester was coming up, and I had no ideas for gifts for my girlfriend at the time. Being a poor college student who feels like I have no real talents to offer, I figured I would just write her a song. I had had bits of this melody in my head before then but this seemed like the perfect time to actually write it all down. Great idea, right?
All in all it took me about three days to get it all finished. We went out on a date one night, I took her to the music building to find a piano, and I played this for her and gave her the score to keep. We ended up breaking up about two months later. Romantic, eh?
Well, I still have this. It's very simple and I've discovered non-chord tones since then which I love! At any rate, I hope somebody enjoys this.
