Midnight Dreams (nocturno)

Really cool. It sounds semi-improvisational, which works great for a nocturne. I think you kept it to the perfect amount of development, too. Not too little, not too much.

I thought mss. 95-96 sounded really odd in context, though. The left hand in particular sounds almost baroque, in the middle of consistently jazzy language. Hmm. Maybe pedalling each beat and adding soft dynamics could change that, but I’m not sure.

Anyway, really cool piece, thanks for sharing with us 😁

Thanks for your thoughts.

Yes, the parts where the sound is baroque-like are intentional. I wanted to mix jazz and baroque, why not?
