Etude on the Ruins of a Future Civilization
An etude for the piano focusing on lightness of touch and legato on arpeggios without the use of the pedal. I think that the coda could be expanded a bit... What do you think?
I loved that first sudden fortissimo in the middle! It scared the heck out of me. ../../../public/style_emoticons/default/tongueanti.gif
Yes, it is quite deceiving!
I am glad you liked it. I will look what I can I do with the coda because I also agree that it needs some expanding...
Thanks!
same as Megaloler,
I think the fortissimo is going to catch every listener of guard (:
I thought it might have been a little too harsh, but that's just my opinion.
I especially Loved the melody under the arpeggios between measures 30 - 41.
and another agree with megaloler,
The coda can definitely be a little more definite,
make it hit you in the face like the fortissimo maybe?
Your composition, your choice
but great composition and great job (:

The tonal language is pretty bland, but you have lots of nice things here. I think the main motive has nice drive to it and is overall nicely developed and handled.
the sudden fortissimo surprised me --- a lot! I raised the volume to hear the soft notes clearly, and suddenly, boom! Otherwise, it is nice 
Thank you all for listening and commenting!
Dominus, I generally don't use complex harmony in my pieces. In this case, however, it was also intentional. I wanted to give an archaic and at the same time futuristic feeling to the piece.

Anyway, I like it a lot. It has a futuristic feel from the octave echos. The bass pattern has a powerful life to it. The harmonies are really nice. The "bigness" of the image depicted by the title seems to fit well with the "big" feel the piece creates. I feel like there could be some kind of interesting melody in the main theme, particularly one that deviates a bit from the very steady rhythm, but that would probably be pretty difficult. It is an etude, after all.
I think I agree about the coda. It sort of makes me want to hear something else. Perhaps something just as simple as a PAC at the end of what you already have (because it's nice).
I really like the piece! It kept me interested.
