Carl Kölling - Fluttering Leaves in A Minor Op 147 No 2 | Library of Music

At the request of ‪@0nly.ayanna514‬
"Fluttering Leaves" is a charming piano composition by Carl Kölling that captures the delicate, whimsical nature of leaves fluttering in the breeze. The piece is characterized by its light, airy melodies and gentle harmonic progressions, creating an image of leaves dancing gracefully in the wind. The music flows with a sense of ease and fluidity, incorporating rippling arpeggios and flowing scales that mimic the movement of leaves. The piece often employs a lyrical, cantabile style, inviting the pianist to play with expressiveness and sensitivity to dynamic nuances.
Carl Kolling was a German composer and pianist of the Romantic era, known for his expressive and picturesque piano miniatures. "Fluttering Leaves" is one of his most popular compositions, often performed as a standalone piece or as part of a collection of character pieces. It reflects the Romantic era's fascination with nature and the ability to convey vivid imagery through music. Kolling's works, including "Fluttering Leaves," are celebrated for their melodic charm and technical demands, making them beloved pieces in the piano repertoire.
The piece features frequent arpeggios and scale passages that require smooth, even playing and precise finger control. It often involves playing different articulations and dynamics simultaneously in both hands, requiring a high degree of finger independence and coordination.
A subtle use of rubato adds to the piece's expressive nature, allowing the pianist to impart a sense of spontaneity and natural flow, much like leaves fluttering unpredictably in the breeze.

Hello, can the music in your videos be used for a movie/documentary ?

[@LibraryofMusic]

@dprodani7b89 These pieces are in the public domain. Classical music in general is in the public domain unless it is a specific performance of a pianist.

[@dprodani7b89]

@@LibraryofMusic i know the pieces are, but what about the MIDI files you use? Or are they free to use?

[@LibraryofMusic]

You want to use the sound, not the midi so it wouldn't matter. But to answer your question, the midis I use are either mine or free to use, or under creative commons, or non-commercial licence. My videos are also under the fair use doctrine. At the same time, I don't make money from of my videos, so it's a bit irrelevant at the end of the day.

[@dprodani7b89]

@@LibraryofMusic I understand. So i could use the sound from some of your videos for a movie/documentary with no issues or extra procedures?

[@LibraryofMusic]

Yes, no problem. Once your video is out you can let me know so I can like 👍
