Hi, Prokhor. I wish I knew a little bit of what these pieces are about so I could understand them a little bit better. For the most part, the third movement tends to stick out more than the first two simply because of the manner in which it's written. You took more of a 20th century twist with the second movement coming from the first movement, which was a smoother transition. From that point, the Rondo took a bit of an unusual twist.

Just my thoughts. Very nice writing, though, particularly for the piano. Wlel done.

Well, the first movement is in sonata form, so the first theme is a description of a man. Two other themes are the world - something good and bad. The hero of the music is between this poles apart. And finally he lose all his hopes. Everything crushes.

Second movement is about trying to find a way to be. You think you almost found this way, but it was just another mistake, and it crashes.

Third movement is a consolation in being simple.

I've only started to listen to the first movement but already I feel like I need to comment.

No matter what type of music I write now or in teh future with the many inspirations I grab a hold of, people with a voice such as yours will continue to emotionally touch me.

Your music is simple in style and playability, but the emotions your pour out are stunning. It reminded me of when I would be up late at night improving on teh piano, not writing anything down or remembering my ideas, just letting everything I wanted to say be said that night and that night only. I don't know why your music reminded me of this, but it did, and I'm glad.

I don't really have any critique for you, this seems to be a very polished and finished work. I thank you for sharing this, it really is a powerful composition (or maybe it's my flair with Russian music :P). Congrats on a fine work, hope to hear more music from you soon. :)
