Fantasie for Piano and Orchestra

Ending is very rushed, might revise. Intended to create a very short piece, this is more of a short experiment rather than an attempt at a more encompassing work. 

I really liked the orchestration and the pianistic approach to the piece!

I understand this is sort of an exercise, but there isn't a lot I can complain about musicially at all, I will only say that the grandiosity of this orchestration deserves much more than 3 minutes

Hi @veps,

Yup this version is more developed than your previous posted version. The orchestral colour here is wonderful, the piano writing is very idiomatic and I especially love the middle section when you invite some modal harmonies and parallel fifths, the sound is so great there.

Well I think you really should change your intention! The ending feels very unsatisfying given how many sections are undeveloped to its fullest potential: the opening grand section of Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto no.1, the middle scherzando modal section, and the climactic ending. I will say this is a very good experiment, but let's turn this experiment to a finished product!!!

I agree that the ending is rather unsatisfying, which is a shame because there's some very nice stuff before it.
