This was originally intended for a competition, the last of a suite of movements. Each movement had to contain music that was somehow amalgamated in the last movement. Thus it was written first to be able to choose motifs from it for the other movements. A few phrases are deliberately written "sul pont" and others "sul tasto". The suite as a whole was never completed. The date on the MP3 refers to the day I rendered it. Any comments would be most gratefully received - and thank you for listening.

Maybe 4/4 would fit better to the Andante? Same notes, same measures, just the beat is on the quarter note. I mean, you essentially wrote it in 4/4 and then put in the wrong time signature. Other than the time signature issue, I like the piece. You transition so well into the 6/8. And is it in G sharp minor? It is very pretty and dreamy. G sharp minor is such a rare key for me to hear, rarer than F# major or even Ab minor, which themselves are rare keys.

It's fantastic, I love it. I don't see the use of 2/2 and cut time. Usually this is used in faster tempos. Or a strong pulse + a weaker one....

I see what you're saying, but I think it's too integral to the structure of my piece, it's kind of a theme that plays out over the next 16 bars or so. as for the glockenspiel, I agree, I think it may be a little too piercing as well. I think I'm going to keep the arrangement but I will take off some of the high end so it sits better in the mix and I think it will have the same effect. thanks for your consistent reviews jean :)

I like it. Pentatonic makes the coloring of the piece some exotic. The most interesting as for me was the transitions between 4/4 and 6/8. You excellent have done them. These measures are very different and it is difficult to connect such unsimilar parts.
