Hello, I am posting a short Scherzo, which I recently completed. It was great fun to experiment with some chromatics and dissonances, I am very curious to know what you think of it. . Scherzo in A-minor.mp3

It's a solid piece. I like the adventurous attitude of it all. There is a very symmetrical sort of harmony going on. Not saying it's bad, if harmony is your concern, you may want to have a look at that.

Short critique - if I give you too much of something or the same thing over and over again, then you'll appreciate it less and less over time. You'll become desensitized to it. To get straight to the point, your use of "power" chords is a bit overwhelming - using the low range of the bass instruments with a P5. I'm primarily talking about the first movement. I respect the original ideas, however, I wasn't pulled in by anything you presented. Of course, it's a matter of opinion and we are each entitled to our own. It's astonishing that you put this much effort into your work - I respect that. 47 minutes is a crazy long period of time to sit down and listen to something. I imagine this took a while to write. Kudos on finishing a long project!

Thanks for listening! I'll pay more attention to the enharmonics.
