A Melody Forgotten - Simple, Somber Piano Music by Rowan McTavish (with Sheet Music)

Get the score: rowanmctavish....
A piece from my (in progress) second album, The Mechanism. After the relatively high difficulty level of the sonata, I thought it'd be nice to return to some simpler, easier pieces; "A Melody Forgotten" should be perfect for early intermediate pianists looking for something evoking old melancholy.
My first album, Fragments: • One Hour Soothing Pian...
Fragments with rain sounds: • One Hour Relaxing Pian...

Just came across your channel. Thanks for these beautiful simple pieces. As a beginner, I honestly think I can attempt to play one of these and not be over whelmed. Thanks again.

It's my pleasure! I hope you find one you enjoy learning to play!

[@Mythezza]

This is seriously one of my favorite things you've written! Love!

Well done!!!!!

There are moments that remind me of Mipha’s theme from Breath of the Wild - really beautiful, elegant piece! I liked that jump from G# to C - unexpected but it works well. I have been doing a small project of recording living/unknown composers’ pieces on my channel - would you be interested in me recording this piece at some point?

[@RowanMcTavish]

I'd be so honored! I'm gonna subscribe to you and check out your music this evening! (Also, I have to admit to being a terrible Zelda fan; I haven't played anything in the series since Twilight Princess, though my girlfriend played BotW, so I've definitely at least heard some of the music.)

@@RowanMcTavish awesome, thanks so much, and thanks for checking out my channel! I have a couple others’ pieces I’m recording soon and will add this one to the list. I don’t think I can call myself a Zelda fan cause I’ve really only played breath of the wild and a smidge of Twilight Princess, but the BotW soundtrack is gorgeous.

Very nice composition. Somehow it reminded me about Satie and Super Mario Galaxy later. I'm not too sure about the cadence with the melody going from G# to C though. I would have prepared it making that idea thematic, but still it would be quite unstable.

[@RowanMcTavish]

Yeah, it's meant to leave you wanting it to resolve the "right way" (to an A), which you finally get at the very end.

[@Ivan_1791]

@@RowanMcTavish That's true, although personally I think they are very far away. By the way, did you design your own web page? And do people buy scores often? I never tried selling my music, I always made it public.

[@RowanMcTavish]

@@Ivan_1791 It's just the default Shopify store theme. I'm actually a web developer by profession, but for some reason can't be bothered to create or design my own store, hahaha. I get a slow, steady trickle of orders, nothing crazy. In all honesty, I'd probably save money by making the scores freely available, but I wouldn't mind being able to turn this into a decent side-job one day.

[@zavilov]

I enjoyed that. Simplicity is sometimes difficult to make interesting you do that well.

[@kpunkt.klaviermusik]

This is giving the piece its special flavour. I like it so much! Was a bit disappointed with the A at the end :-)
