Hello Everybody!

I composed a new piece. You know I'm an amateur composer / pianist, but I love to work with the piano. The spring has just arrived and this piece was written in the same time. I love that how E major and D sharp minor work together :)




You can download the sheet music here: https://lebersoftware.hu/music/Loony_Spring_Laszlo_Leber_piano_composition.pdf

Please feel fee to use this sheet music if you would like to play my piece.

I would be grateful if you can give me some advice / tell your opinion about the piece.

Hey! I think it's a good piece and a fine execution of the style you are going for, played in a soulful manner.

In the sheet music, there are some spelling errors. In the D sharp minor section, wherever you use an F natural, it should be spelled with an E sharp, since it's an A sharp minor chord (the minor dominant) or a sometimes a C sharp major chord you are using. E sharp is a pitch that is available in the D sharp minor scale anyways, it's in the key signature.

There are also some instances throughout the piece where you are using a C natural that should be spelled as a B sharp since you are using a G sharp major chord (often but not always as a dominant to a nearby C sharp minor chord), for example in bar 16.

Another thing I noticed is that in bar 10 and analogous bars there is a B in the left hand on the first beat, but it sounds like you are playing an A.

Good job with the piece and make sure to post more!

Looks good. There is one C natural in bar 16 you have missed, and the C naturals in bars 24, 32, 40 also need to be amended! (it's a G sharp major chord in all these locations)
