Lightbulb Rhapsody for Piano

I was looking through my old peices one day and I came across this peice for piano that I started about a month or so ago and I am starting to like it a lot. So my question to you is do you like and do you think I should complete it and if so what should I do to add on.

I absolutely love how modern it is, but not to the point it makes me sick. i love it!

However, keep going...tell me if its playable...i love it

This is a very fine piece so it is definitely worth finishing. The musical ideas are excellent.

How to continue is a very good question .

Possibly write a short transition and repeat from m26 to m34 but then add an ending instead of repeating what starts at m35. The piece is very intense so it doesn't necessarily have to be much longer but it can't just stop. I'm hoping you can come up with something equally as great as what you have now - it would be a real shame not to finish this.

Dude, this is tiiight.

Seriously, this is a very nice piece. Definitely one of the few "modernist" pieces that I could really connect with and "feel" on a musical level. This harmonies are eclectic, the melodies are enticing, and the dynamics are perfectly staged. I don't know how you could finish this piece, but I just thought I'd let you know that it's worth finishing.

Excellent work! If you write anything vaguely modern and romanticists actually come in and congratulate you, then you must be doing something right!
I love your harmonic ideas; very quirky and unusual, but never too much for my ears! I would assume you had to a lot of effort into this and it shows! I love the way you combine interesting harmony with melodic intrigue.
You're piano writing seems incredibly competent, although I am perhaps not the best person to comment on that.
One thing though, the more traditionally harmonised sections (at 1:55 - 2:10 for example) could have done with a bit of harmonic thickening imo! I don't mean for you to completely alter you chords, but they do seem a tad bare to my ears.
My only other criticism was that it wasn't longer, so with that in mind you must finish this quite frankly excellent piece!

One other thing: I'd try to get this performed. Midi never ever does the piano justice!
