Thoughts welcome.

It's getting a bit stuck, for me. It's beautiful for a short time, then it becomes static. Another thing is the balance. It seems to be a choice in the beginning, but then you need to change it later.

Yeah, I'm inclined to agree regarding the balance between between the melody and the bebung chords; it's not as good as it could be.

Re "becoming static" I assume you're referring to my tempo on the first three, or possibly the first five pages ie prior to the storm breaking. In the opening three I was trying to convey a feeling of desolation and resignment, but my tempo is quite slow and though I don't feel it is overly static, I can see what you mean. eg lack of forward momentum. Something to think about!

Thanks for listening and commenting.
