I was reviewer for one year, non stop.... I didn't need anything in return to review BUT yes, those short, empty, hollow pieces were too hard to review, very often the so called- "review" was nothing but an almost fake comment... wouldn't like to "have to do" those comments again..

I don't do reviews often for two reasons: 1) They're a great effort for little gain to either the young composer, or to myself. 2) Related to #1, I have no direct incentive to provide commentary. I have no interest in providing complicated reviews if the composer won't use the info, or I won't get something in return, like a review back. Its quid pro quo, and rightly so.
