Original piano composition - Floating in lonely Space

[poetofthefall21]

Here's one composition I created yesterday. It's titled Floating in lonely Space and I'd like to hear Your opinions about it, thanks!:)

My opinion is that your compositions would be more original if you studied counterpoint and harmony.

Sounds a bit redundant... learn how to replicate classical counterpoint and NOW you are creative.

I'm joking 

Nice sounding piece, but I'd agree on the harmony part.  There are some very expressive chords (either in classical music or in jazz) that can reflect a 'floating' or 'space' type feel.  Keep working at it, you have some interesting ideas!  The thin texture you kept is pretty cool, gives off a feeling of suspension or stillness.

How do you think the great composers learned their craft?

a) By over-relying on the relationship between the chord of I and the chord of iii and thinking it was actually original

b) By studying carefully the works of previous masters and devoting themselves to learning and acquiring mastery of the the rules of musical craftsmanship by which those great works were first conceived.
