On A Brisk Autumn Breeze

See the colors. The smell of autumn is in the air. Feel the refreshing breeze with golden leaves brushing against your face as they fall like the embers of a warm fire to the woodland floor. This piece carries the bittersweet tones of melancholy emotion as you mourn summer's fading warmth and light. Yet this season of transition carries a unique beauty that can only be found in the change. Featuring harmonic 5ths, syncopated rhythms, and broken chords, this late-elementary-level piano solo is a delightful musical expression of what many would call their most beloved time of the year, autumn!
