Such a beautiful piece, Bethany! The original chords are fascinating and I found myself listening to it over and over again. I have listened to a few of your pieces, and they all have their own original beauty.
@@cordia8920 thank you so much! I went and listened to many of yours as well, I love your style. You have a very free sense of time that is refreshing!
It’s very effective! Any chance you’d be interested in a short piano piece of mine? I’ve got one that I think might be up your street (but no worries if not!).
@@christophermortlockcomposer Oo yes I would! There’s one other person’s piece I have on the docket next, but no one after that - feel free to send me an email! (Email is listed in “about” section of YT page I think)
It was fun to technically have an A major triad to start overtop of G7 (which I think is G7 with 9, #11, 13), and then actually end in A. I have no idea what key the piece would actually be in though, it moves through unstable chords, and it’s so short it doesn’t really land anywhere resolute until that A chord.
@@Ivan_1791 now you mention it I can hear it! Have you listened to Forlane from Le Tombeau de Couperin? Really lovely extended harmonies but light feeling.

the harmonies are so georgeous. i wish i could learn how to compose like you.
So glad you liked the harmonies! A lot of them come from experimentation/improvisation until it just feels right.
So creative and loved the little Before & After concept. Definitely Satie-esque!
Thanks so much Amie!
A nice response to the 'before' - I really enjoyed the extended harmony in this one.
So glad you liked it! I had to play around with the dissonance a bit before it felt “right”

@@bethanywakim6175 Great! thank you :) I've sent you an email.
I really like how it develops from bar 9 onwards. Another fine piece, Bethany!
Thanks Greg! Next up is… Up (and then Down of course)
I love how the last chord in before is the first in after.
Thanks so much, I thought it helped to connect them a bit!
Absolutely wonderful!
Many thanks!
Perfect!
Glad you liked it!
A curious little one Bethany! I like how the C# starts out as a weird dissonance (#2? #4?), but by the end, its part of the resolute A major harmony

Ah I see the idea now, very clever! :)
Nice piece, reminds me about Ravel.

@@bethanywakim6175 Of course, that set of Ravel is truly wonderful, a pity he didn't orchestrate all the movements.
Interesting.
Thanks!
Love this!!
Glad you did! Thanks so much for listening!
Wonderful dissonate harmonies and you are very brave to use them. Wonderful work, Bethany!
Thanks so much Donna! Glad you liked the dissonances:)
