Although I don't like all the chromicity(?) of the piece, I relaize that this is the genre you are writing. I like the water in the bucket, but I don't like the bucket. (If that makes sense) good orchestration.

Yeah I understand, um thnx for the comment though.

I liked this piece, but there were a few things that sort of bugged me about it. I liked your contemporary chord progression throughout most of the piece, but in some places (i.e. Horn A# in measure 11) a note seemed to be too consonant when all the other instruments were begging for dissonance.

That's just my two cents, and by NO means are my ideas always good, but that is one area I would try to watch out for; when the chord is calling for dissonance, let it have it. Great piece!

thank you, I'll have to look at that, I wasn't really paying attention, lol :D

I liked it. My main comment would be that fermatas seem to take away from the motion of the piece. Maybe look at that. It's minor but it might add something if that was tweaked. I liked a lot of the sounds in the piece.

I see what you mean, but in the actual playing I expect the performers to have an idea of how long the fermata's should be held out, but thnx for our comments and criticism.:)

I'm not sure how I feel about how chordal the piece is. You have bursts of some neat counterpoint, but the majority of the piece is over sustained chords. This effectively creates an interesting mood, but it also stagnates your piece into going a limited distance.

I'm not sure how I feel about the continuation of the lines in mm13-16. I feel a bit more melodic movement there would make that a bit less stagnant. The constant repetition of the motif seems a bit brute-force.

Overall it's an interesting piece, but more as a section than a piece unto itself.

The piece is ment to be very atonal, it's not sustained chords, im using diminished and augmented chords
