First 2 (Original) Compositions- What do you think? (With MIDI)

[rgiannetta]

The first is a short, sweet, incidental piece meant for warming up the hands and, well, just to sound pleasant.

The second is more of a serious nature, and I guess outlines the limits of what I can play, and explores alot of ideas/emotions I've had as of late.

thoughts?  I would love input from a theoretical/compositional standpoint.  Or, from someone physically playing them and giving feedback.  I have never taken piano lessons or music lessons, so I guess I would be considered an advanced amateur?  Haha not quite sure, I'm pretty new here.  FIRST POST!!
P.S. Please give Etude II a chance.  While it might, at first glance, appear random just give it a try

These scores look fun. Would you happen to have a recording of either? I'd like to hear them!

I have just uploaded MIDI's of both, to give you a rough idea of how they should sound.  I am in the process of filming/recording a video 'tutorial' or whatever of each, will post when done!
