I wasn't looking for what you just hinted at, but I did listen and watch the score. Bravo! I definitely don't want to compare you to Stravinsky, but you are something like a modern-ish version of him. I really enjoyed this work. I could repeat what others have said, because I had similar bothers, but oh well.

I agree with Nightfly about the lack of climax, or something to that effect. I really enjoyed the small harp part right before death. It actually moved me some small way -- I think you have the ability to create a very beautiful theme there as some sort of release. But I know that's probably not what you were going for.

Thank you for sharing this with us. I really enjoyed this piece.
