Dear All,

I have just finished my new piece Rhapsody II for "album" "Hope". This is my more "complex" piece and It took me 1.5 year to finish it, because I made it from different parts :)



I'm really interested in your opinion!

My album is not a real album I just made a category for my pieces :)

Wow, this is great.

How hard is it to play? I kind of want to learn it!

In the way of feedback--I really like the simplicity of the melody in the opening section, and the compactness of the whole song. The piece is not very long, but every note counts--I can tell you've given it a lot of work.
Practicing:
Bach Chromatic Fantasie and Fugue
Beethoven Sonata Op. 10 No. 1
Shostakovich Preludes Op. 34
Scriabin Etude Op. 2 No. 1
Liszt Fantasie and Fugue on BACH

Thank you!

It's not really hard, really, but I can't tell the truth because this piece is as hard as my actual improvisation skill. I'm at level 6-7 probably, but my improvisation skill is lower.

If the sheet music is ready, I will send it to you and you can decide  :)

Btw, I'm very happy to hear this, that you would like to learn it!
