about

I composed this with specific harmonic and song structure parameters: include specific progressions and cadences, transition to the relative major or minor, and transition back to the original key, etc. I used this as a challenge to compose something meaningful to me within the those limits, assuming it would make the process more difficult. However, I started and finished this piece easily (minus the tedious notation) within the space of an hour. The limitations actually made it easier for me to focus on what was important. I originally composed it in Eb minor by ear (because that's the tonal center I heard), and had to change it to E minor on account of it being "an ugly key for strings." I think it sounds better in Eb minor, for the record.
