The prompt took you in a distinctly human direction :) This piece has the same effect on me as many of my favourite pieces of classical music, in that you can close your eyes and let it take you where it wants to take you. I actually find sad music - when it's also this beautiful - strangely cathartic and uplifting. I always thought that was a bit odd, but I've swapped messages with many on here who seem to feel the same. Thank you for sharing this one, Nadia. It's sad and communicates grief, but it doesn't necessarily leave the listener completely forlorn and lost.

Thats a Lovely take on the skirmish. I agree creating music around grief is good to Ease ut up. I hope you are ok.

What makes us human, for me, is that we make music. You're 100% human by that measure!

The piece IS sad, but there is a glimmer of hope in there too. I hear remembrances also and the changes in rhythm underscore how grief comes in waves. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

"Sad Piano" has become such a thoughtless trope in film and TV, so it's extra impressive that you've managed to avoid cliché and improvise a genuinely moving piece like this.

I think you've nailed the concept of the skirmish and reflected it in the music itself. Really nice work

This is gloriously sad. I felt all the stages of grief in this, plus a deep longing to say goodbye, just one more time.

Wow! perfect name for this somber, sad music. Well done! it captures the feeling for sure.
