yes, there are good ideas in this work. but it needs more development... the opening measures are good ideas to get it from.
yes, u got it right.. i think you should explore some more of it. you have very good materials there.
but if it was a movement of a set of pieces (ala schumann), it might work already.
Heh, okie kokie, basically revise it a helluva lot, and stay focused ^_^;; It's easy to wander off when you work so slowly on it O_o
Hmm, your ideas are nice and it sounds quite cool.
Btw, is this you playing? Or do you use some kinda program? 
Thanks ^_^ I consider my first Etude better, but even that lacks something

Unfortunately I don't have the capacity to play Grade 5 and above (I would estimate), this is just Garritan Personal Orchestra playing, the Steinway Sound, with modified Ambience settings... else wise the piano sounds rather morbid!
Thanks for your comments folks ^_^ I will put it to good use!
