I wrotededed another piano piece!

This is meant to be the new concluding movement of an already existing work called "Apple Blossom", which is a series of piano pieces written in American vernacular idioms, leaning towards the cutesy and precious. This one starts unassumingly enough, but gets bigger and broader in conception, while hopefully staying true to the folksy spirit of the preceding movements.

Anyway, enjoy!

Don't know much about music, but that sounds pretty good.

Honest question, why is there mostly only one note at a time?

Apple Blossom is basically a series of songs-without-words. In fact, the titular movement within the work is nothing more than a solo melody accented with chords at structural points. Sparse accompaniment just seemed appropriate to me, and anything more might risk lapsing into conventionality.

You can hear the earlier movements here. Like I said, it's all getting revised.

To paraphrase Arnold Schoenberg's indignant response to the cigar-chomping Hollywood suit, "I don't write cute music!"
