My first post here

Hi

It would be nice to see the score, it always helps... Particularly if your new here. And also the scores is useful to learn from others.

It sounds good to me, although I don't see if there is some structure in the whole piece. Besides it ends abruptly.

I'm a jazz major, so naturally, writing a piece of baroque-style music would be...dry, at least for me, anyway. This is a piece of program music that is centered around a freedom of structure and does not have a simple fluidity of key changes. I like to think that is very "20th century" in nature. The ending was actually thought out. Ending this piece with a perfect authentic cadence written in a four part-choral texture that is then reduced to a grand staff for piano didn't seem appropriate, as this has been done an excruciating amount of times already by composers the last few hundred years or so! Additionally, the fact that it stirred up a sprinkling of unrest within you means that the intended purpose was achieved. I'm glad you like my piece, and I appreciate your comment, as external feedback is essential to growth. However, keep in mind that all the pieces I post may produce a common theme of thoughts for you; if you are looking for looking for music that predictable, and living in the past, I politely suggest that you look elsewhere, for it is not here! None of my pieces are going to touch on one emotion. None of my pieces are going to follow a strict and restrained method of Kostka-Payne oriented theory when it comes to composing music. I am trying to break boundaries and explore new territory in the realm of solo piano music. I am not trying to imitate anyone or anything. I am simply writing what stimulates my ear. I am adopting the elitist mentality of jazz and applying it to a loose "western european art music" landscape and twisting the two together with no regards to the one thing that has killed some of the greatest periods of music this world has ever released:TRADITION.
