the bolded/underlined phrase above is missing one important detail:
"what doesn't work for me". Since this piece works fine for others. I'm glad you at least tried. I'm sorry you weren't able to keep up.

I think you're missing what I'm trying to say, and I'm getting the impression that you're getting overly defensive about my comments. I'm simply trying to explain what isn't working
for me which in turn may not work
for others.
Your assessment of my "lack of familiarity" with less "traditional" tonal music is actually 1) a completely false premise and 2) not relevant to my comments, which have nothing to do with the Neo-tonal style of your piece (which is almost traditional in its own right depending on who you ask). My comments aren't meant to be taken as derogatory, but I appreciate the manner in which you address them... "sorry you can't keep up."
Yeah, because that's exactly what I was saying... dude, seriously, wtf? You post your piece here on the site and you, what, want a cookie? Take criticism more graciously and see if it has any merit to what you're trying to accomplish. If it doesn't, so be it...
Also... my quote was...

In context,
for me is redundant. That's why I never included it in the statement since I was clearly trying to explain
my own opinion. I'm done. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
