Microtonal Sonatina in F#

I'm back yet again with another microtonal experiment!  This time, I was inspired by @Henry Ng Tsz Kiu's recent sonata movement that he published.  I thought it would be cool to try my hand at a microtonal sonata, although I myself am not entirely sure I like the result!  LoL  I've received the criticism that although the microtones in this are something one can get used to, they don't seem entirely necessary and might not contribute anything to the music and rendition that makes it particularly better.  What do you think?  I would appreciate any comments, critiques, suggestions or observations that you may have!  Thanks for listening.

P.S.:  The piece uses 1/4th tones, 1/3rd tones and 1/6 tones.  It could possibly be performed on a lumatone tuned to 53 edo which would best approximate the just 3rds and subminor 7ths I have utilized in the piece.

These microtones do contribute to the music. But let me go through my thoughts, so you can get a better sense of why.

I like how at 10 seconds in, you demonstrate the microtone by gradually increasing its pitch. 14 seconds in, you really are showing how microtones can affect harmony, at least to my ears. Also, I feel like most of the time I wasn't sure if we were in minor or major. Like I could tell, but there were times where the major portions sounded really ominous 😵‍💫.

At 1:13 to to 1:20 you have a series of cadences. I think the first 2 cadences resolve to minor, and the final one resolves to major. But again, it's not that easy to tell.

The entire piece reminds me of a dream sequence, and this could be in part due to the echo effect. I feel like I am perhaps in a haunted carnival, with evil clowns chasing me. There are some instances of reprieve, but the entire piece is incredibly haunting. This is more than the thought it just sounds out of tune. I think you are starting to learn how to make use of microtones to contribute to mood. When you suggest they don't seem necessary, I think perhaps this type of composition is starting to become second nature to you. But to the listener, I can assure you, the microtones are seriously warping the mood of this piece, in ways that may not be possible with normal music.

I really like this piece as a whole, and maybe my ear training is starting to get used to microtonal music since you started posting these exercises 😅.
