Waltz For Erin - Shabaaz Ranney

It is somewhat immature, but it's all I have.


Please critisize, maybe I can expand or make it a lot better.

I think there are some good ideas there. I like the syncopated bits in it towards the end. I felt it you could have continued it for longer and built up the excitement still further - it seems to lend itself to doing that. Maybe some sudden key and chord changes - something of that sort. Maybe try to break up the one-two-three by varying the left hand and with more unusual figurations such as the trill in the middle. Unless of course you wanted a heavy one-two-three - depends on what you're trying to say.
