Composed something today... Its been a while...

This is a Waltz I composed that goes for just under 5 minutes in length. It is based in D major and relies on scales, phrasing and chord progressions. I feel it is one of my favorite compositions I've written and I put a lot of effort into it. My 4th Waltz uses progressions like the maj4 to a maj5 then resolving to the tonal chord, the maj1 or a D major. It involves rapid scales and quick changes with a build up at the end resolving back to the main Waltz. This piece is performed on only string sections no brass or woodwind. This Waltz was composed over the period of an entire night and I really enjoyed composing the piece. If anyone has any questions regarding the theory/structure or simply just inquires please let me know as I would be more than happy to reply.

It has a strong classical references however it's clearly a piece written nowadays, I appreciated the rithm just 2 instruments can create. The performance it's almost perfect, it must cost you days and days of practice, incredible! For my personal opinion there's too much repetitions of the same note, in any case the development of the piece is clear and enjoyable, good job

I stumbled upon the delay feature in Pianoteq's virtual piano software and I liked it so much that I 'composed' three separate but somewhat related movements. Why Utica? I travel there soon to meet an old friend (cyber-old that is, only known him for less than a year), this one is in his honor.

Just not to repeat my comment that got lost in the limbo of internet & my PM I'll say that I am liking the first movement more than the second now for some reason. Honestly it's very good material for an improvisation. I think I now better understand the journeys now after I know they are directly played from your mind to the piano. Again, congrats and kind regards =).
