Exactly that! The idea of tonality as an absolute center is replaced with a modal and vague sense of tonality. Impressionists focused on the experience of the music and less so the structure of it. The music serves as much as a background for the experience as it did for the Romanticists.

This is awesome!!! By any chance, are you possessed by the ghost of Schoenberg??? Karlheinz Stockhausen - "Klavierstücke I-IV" would be a fitting piece to do an adaption of.

This is awesome! By measure 33 - 34, as the voices converge at the interval of a second, we would encounter a dissonance that resolves yet doesn't quite settle, reminiscent of the neoclassical elements in Stravinsky. A lot of it is experimental, gestural stuff rather than conventional harmony and strict counterpoint. Can't wait to hear more from you.

Very interesting analysis. Would you say that the Impressionist style of arpeggiation, along with the focus on modal tonality, was a reaction to romantic expression and vertical harmony?

Considering the specs you've provided—a healthy 700GB of remaining SSD space—your system should handle most VSTs without issue. VSL is incredibly meticulous/precise, like it's got this knack for hitting just the right notes w/ surgical accuracy, and that's helpful when nailing the dynamics in bigger arrangements. Then there's EWQL is best for a blockbuster movie soundtrack type of mega-arrangement. For something different, check out 8Dio's offerings. They have some really sick stuff like their "Adagio" strings, which are all about expressive legato, and they often incorporate unconventional playing techniques for that extra flavor.
