I will be playing this beautiful piece for my Trinity exam shortly and as well as playing it I have to prepared to answer questions on the structure etc of the piece. From a b flat trumpet point of view it starts and ends on a b natural and yet the piece has no sharps or flats. Am I correct in thinking that this piece is written the locrian mode form? Also can anyone throw light on it's style? From it's title it is written as a Ballad which normally implies a story. To my ear it does have a lot of feeling. Sad, soulful come to mind and as Allen is still very much with us I would say the period is contemporary. Any thoughts? Many thanks in advance
@@etnoballium4516 if you read my question carefully and then look at the key signature there are no sharps or flats normally indicating C Major or A Minor
Lovely piece of music! I'm actually learning to play this tune on my trumpet, so this video has been a great help.

You asked a lot of questions but you said the song has no sharps or flats, but there are a few sharps in there
