Man that's lovely.  I have to say probably my favourite composition so far to come out of PF.  Some of the discords are really lovely, so ethereal.  I also love that little melodic theme.  I have to say there are one or two points where it get a bit heavy, especially that big discord after the first section.  Aside from that though, really nice.  Post more i look forward to hearing it.

This is a beautiful piece.  Greyrune is right; this has a very ethereal, floating feeling to it.  I especially like how in some places the LH interacts with the melody, kind of like Rachmaninoff.

Keep composing!

hahaha unfortunately this is the only thing "worthy" that's come out of my hand. Somehow there was a brief period of inspiration, and i wrote the whole thing in less than a day. I've never been able to do it again, so far hahaha.

Oh Hawkesbury is the name of the river i was traveling along when i thought of this piece. It also where the theme directly derives from. - wink - my little secret.

husky, yes you're weird :D haha...

I did a quick run-through of your piece......

It's quite tricky!  The LH is a little awkward in some places (are you left-handed, Dazzer?)

Please mind some of the inaccuracies....

Though I do have one suggestion, though it's your own composition, so you can just ignore me if you want. I think that the first part (the1st page or so) sounded almost a bit too nonchalant, and it would sound better if you played the 1st part a bit more lyrically, and slightly softer. The tempo is good, keep it.
