The sequel to Sad But Beautiful: a second story of sorrow and beautiful memories.

It has been included again in the full-length piano album *Left Behind*.

“Beautiful melodies and a great arrangement. I feel it is more contemporary than traditional classical music. It is a great song, regardless of the genre. Advice, have you considered making a more extended version, with a flute or oboe playing the upper melody in some parts and some countermelody on others?”

“Me encanta la composición, muy original en la armonía y en el arreglo, me encantan como quedan los arpegios como agua que fluye. Tus desarrollos (~01:00) siempre son muy interesantes desde el punto de vista armónico. Buena melodía e interpretación y buena producción. Buen trabajo!”
I love the composition, very original in harmony and arrangement, I love how the arpeggios flow like water. Your developments (~01:00) are always very interesting from a harmonic point of view. Good melody and performance, and good production. Good job!
“I wouldn't call it sad. For me it reminds of sea waves rolling onto the sand in sunny day. There are some artifacts on my sound system on higher notes, but overall it is a nice piece.”

A closer look at the score
Like its predecessor, it contrasts continuous right-hand figures with sustained left-hand bass notes, but Allegro and repeated accents give clearer momentum here. The score specifies which of the four sixteenth notes to emphasize, so an even stream of fast notes alone does not complete the melody. Read the upper notes’ connections alongside the accent positions.
The register and dynamics fall in the middle, then expand to ff, while chords such as Am/C and Gm/E appear beneath the same figure. The later Dm–Gm passage also changes harmonic color without stopping the movement. D-centered material returns near the close before the quick flow resolves into a long chord. Its link to the earlier piece lies in the figures and the hands’ roles; its individuality lies in the faster tempo, accents and wider dynamic contrasts.
