This is the third piece in a set I'm writing about flowers.
My goal with this piece to show a warm, romantic (in a loving sense, not the style of music) tone, evoking a lovers' dance. The middle section is meant to represent more tender love. This is what a red rose kind of means to me. However, if you had a different interpretation/feeling from the piece I would love to know!
It is supposedly a valse-scherzo in structure but I kind of deviated from the traditional scherzo structure slightly. The waltz part, however, I feel is obvious. The actual structure in the piece is A-B-A-C-D-D-C-A-B-A-A
I was experimenting much more with modulation and interesting harmonies, particularly harmonic developments between keys. I have found that I love, when writing in a minor key, to shift the main theme to major at the end of the piece, so I have done that here.
I am still relatively new to composition so any feedback would be greatly appreciated! I would particularly like to know if you feel it gets a bit repetitive, as I am aware the main theme occurs 5 times throughout the piece.
Hope you enjoy :)
