This is the first piano solo piece that I compose. It’s actually for my assignment, hope you enjoy it?
The piano solo piece “ Miss You in the Rain” is about the feeling of nostalgia and missing someone. When it starts to rain, the feeling of melancholy emerges. Then, the music starts smoothly just like the rain. The music uses a lot of borrowed chords from minor key, to express the feeling of melancholy. The three continuous similar or same quaver notes(e.g. bar 11, 12,31) simulate the sound of raindrops.
When the rain becomes heavier and heavier, so does the emotion, thus the music gets faster and louder. The music gradually changes to minor key, indicating negative emotion arising, but is resisted and refused. The emotion gets stronger and stronger and is finally vented through the explosive piano glissando sound.
Everything stops. The rain takes away the emotion slowly and quietly, just like the music, becoming softer and going on with a higher pitch, sounding like it is getting further and further. When the music stops, the rain stops.
I am still learning music, maybe I have written something wrong, you can leave a comment below? Cheers!
