I'm new here, @senzenfrenz, so this is the first time I have seen you. I don't compose or play myself but I like your melancholy piece.
Did the melody come from playing with (improvising on) the pentatonic scale, before you though of developing it within a 16-bar structure?
For what it's worth - not much, I admit - the opening made me think of a motif from Mahler's 'Das klagende Lied' (33 seconds in: https://tinyurl.com/js9mj7v), though you quickly take it in a different direction.
Keep up the good work. Great to have some interesting - and original - musical content on the platform.
Welcome @gussiefinknottle, yes as you say it is first improvised and then developed as a musical form. And wow, yes, this is mahlers motif from the beginning of the "klagendes Lied", I wasn't aware of that. But I love mahlers music it is fantastic and I definitely am inspired by the german romantic composers, so perhaps I am using some motifs in a similar way intuitively. Thank you very much for your insightful reply!
Just one of the those strange coincidences - there are only 12 notes after all. It's a great little motiv, which is why it's in my head from the Mahler.
Thanks for the insight into your creative process!

Thank you! I focussed on the melody with this post which is the main issue related to such music in my opinion. Chords and left hand accompaniment are not specificly complicated when the melody is set up, I just play them instantly. But I take this as a motiviation to say something about this too in near future
