Yeah, I should've decrease the reverb and lower the piano a bit. Although it does give that distant feeling, the sounds do get muddied in the faster passages. Glad you got that nostalgic feeling out of it. Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks for listening! Glad you liked it

Great piece! The clarinet part sounds a bit muddy and distant and echoey to me though. The piano sounds clear and in the foreground. As for the music itself, your treatment of thirds in the beginning and when that idea returns throughout the piece reminds me somewhat of a piece I happened to hear in Jr. College for two pianos by Rachmaninoff. You do however bring your own individual spin on it with a unique rhythmic identity. I love the extended clarinet cadenza - like I mentioned though, to me it sounds like there's too much reverb. But if you're happy with it, no need to change it at this point since you've expressed that you want to move on to other projects. I do get a very nostalgic feeling when listening to this work which I think you said was your intent. Well done!

I don't usually like the sound of the harpsichord, but I do like the harpsichord version better for this piece. At least to me it sounds like there's more melodic and harmonic clarity in the harpsichord version, while the reverb in the piano version makes it sound a bit more muddy and damp. I have to say you did an expert job with your inventive episodes and traveling to some quite harmonically distant keys (from A minor to C minor? Unheard of in the Baroque era) and back. The rhythmic intensity propels the piece forward which is totally expected in a Baroque styled piece. Great job!
