The title of this tune was provisional..  (It was conceived as an homage to Debussy )..  I would now like to change the title to "Mirage"… (yet it is too late to modify the subject's heading on this post).  As a composer, most of the stuff I write has been for ensemble… mostly because I like playing with others… It is only recently that I have started writing pieces for solo piano… The first one i posted some while ago was an homage to Chopin, "Farewell".  … This one is the next in that 'series'…

(drat, the disappearing 'modify' button..  )  Actually, the composition came from an impression of a dream at the beach, and I wanted to create the music for that scene… It then morphed  into what appears to be an homage to Debussy… yet there is a blending of my own compositional tendencies as well…  (sorry for the multiple comments…. this last one should have been the first…  yet, I missed the time window for editing…  )

Mr. Harris, you've done a wonderful job. Keep posting your compositions please! I enjoyed it!

[themeandvariation]

Thank you so much.. I am glad you enjoyed it 
I am always very interested in a  pianist's response to my piano pieces.. (and also from those who compose, as well).
Thank you for listening.

I also compose and I am working on an etude on octaves.... it's really fun! 

[themeandvariation]

Great. Perhaps you will post a recording when you finish your Etude..  I would like to hear it.

I love hearing the original compositions.  They are always played so freely and with such confidence,  very nice... oooh some surprises there at the end... cool.. a little DeBussey-esque or impressionistic... and very new age.

very cool

It's a lovely piece! very nice ambience! javascript:void(0); And the piano part sounds on high level of difficulty:)

I just got an account on scorecloud so I liked this piece.  man this is really good.

Great job ! And I agree, Mirage fits better than the beach theme.

@nihil84..  Thank you for your kind words… Yes, it turned out to be more difficult to play than i would have thought… Thank you for lending your ears..

@hfmadopter… I am glad you liked it..  Thank you! ..  (and thank you for considering which title works best

wow very nice and smooth piece. I love the dynamics and the tittle fits perfectly!

Some really nice moments in this piece. Thanks for telling me theme

it sounds modern in a way I mostly like. I can hear a good variety of influences but it also sounds unique. I think it really reflects you theme, as far as I can tell.

I like the opening and the ending quite a bit, the most important parts to be sure.

I am a very beginner composer and I couldn't write at all like this yet, but maybe you could take a look once I've finished something and tell me your thoughts. You could also make me extra happy and look at my Chopin I posted in the Audition Room too
