Three Sententiae for Two Pianos, Op. 323

This is my "Three Sententiae for Two Pianos, Op. 323". It is my first work for the combination of two pianos. I never would have imagined I would compose for that particular combination. However, the idea to compose a set of sententiae came to me almost six months ago, on the day I attended the concert of a piano duet. And so I have realized it now, six months later.

There are some really good ideas in this piece, both rhythmic and harmonic. Of course even though they are miniatures, I would like to hear them more developed and connected. I suppose to make them less miniature. But in doing do so it would give you a chance to move away from the lower register in the piano, for variety. In the third movement you've got some dotted 8th- 16th note figures. But instead of the dot you have a rest. Perfectly acceptable. But this may be a clearer way of writing it.
