Op. 8 Ballade d'un amour inexauce

Gorgeous... It has some bits of Chopin, but I find a lot of Debussy in it too. And from 04:51 to 05:22 the Rachmaninovian feel is unmistakable. :)

I love this piece! I feel the anguish and weight of night after night thinking about a loved one who we can't even touch, for the most varied reasons... Believe me, I know how that feels...

I can see the nightsky too!...

Brilliant! Allez donc realizer votre amour, monsieur! Il n'y a que moi sur cette terre suffisament perdu pour y songer sans l'avoir...

Thank you so much... Indeed, thinking about a loved one who we can't even touch can inspire you to compose... And sometimes, we desire sufferance... because you can't have pleasure and happiness without pain and sufferance...

Thank you Berlioz!

I'm bumping this thread, because I personally find it to be one of the most amazing piano pieces posted on this forum. I haven't reviewed them all (obviously), but this is amazing, in my mind.

Someday, sebastian (or androne?... which is it?) I will get to posting a more comprehensive review. Meanwhile, I really really really like it.

Really nice, I love the motif in the loud parts! Very, expressive, late romantic feel. Your dynamic changes are well planned. If I was any more depressed I would have cried. Beautiful!

Thank you so much for your kind words! You really made my day...

I'm Sebastian (this is my First Name, but in Romania the order of the names are reversed) but you can call me Seb or Sebby ;) !

I'm gonna need as much advices that I can get, because I want to prepare a piece for the composition exams that I will have for conservatoire! One of my professors advised me to go with an avant-garde... But I really don't know...

So... I'll wait the "more comprehensive review" :laugh:

Ugh... Someone with such touch for romantic music, making avant-garde music?? (scrafty music, IMHO :P NOTICE THE "IMHO" RIGHT BEFORE THIS PHRASE!! YES!!! I SAID "IMHO"!!! SO DON'T COME scallopING ABOUT MY TASTES, IT'S MY!! F***ING!! OPINION!!!!)

So, where was I?... :D

Oh yes, I think maybe you could stick to the romantic style. But it's your decision anyway. :(

Cheers.
