"Return" - original composition for piano
on: February 02, 2023, 11:11:29 PM
Hey Guys.
This is my latest piece for piano. Pretty much in a late romantic style... you may notice other influences as well.
Thanks for listening!

Well done!

I listened to this twice - 2nd time jotted a couple notes.  Without score and multiple listenings - it's hard for me to give much in the way of constructive comments. 

I enjoyed hearing this!  First 45 seconds in slower perpetual motion triplets is hybrid late romantic/pop sound.  0:45 starts 2 against 3 rhythm that Brahms of course loved.  "A" section ends 1:25 where it starts to take off.  1:50 has short spot in whole tones alla Debussy.  Otherwise, all still late romantic/pop hybrid.  At 2:00 things get pretty intense - nice sounds!  "A" section returns at 2:40.

Should this be in audition room?  Not sure.
