Rondo-toccata

Another piece for a children's music competition i'm partaking in, for the oldest age category: 15+.

A rondo in ABACA form... took very little time to write, but I'm actually very pleased with the result, as was my teacher! She didn't have any criticisms for it. Maybe some of you do?

(note that the weird transition at 0:55 isn't a serious artistic effort, but rather a deliberate use of the cliché new age style of piano music which I so hate laugh and it also creates a nice contrast, I think...)

I hope you like it.

I love that little transition. It was perfectly integrated. However, I will call out your ending, which doesn't, to me, have that same finesse. It's quirky, but doesn't flow or match well to me.
I though the beginning of the C section could have been a little bit more restless sounding, especially since you intersperse it with 9ths and 7ths, but it was okay.
A section could use some melodic fragments thrown about in there, at least to me. The chords you use are great, but 9/16 melody's fragment can be used elsewhere, and could really make it stand out and not seem like just an ostinato.
It's really good, don't get me wrong. Might just want to be a little more clear in some places.

Cheers!

Hey, where I have I seen this before? ;) ;) I still want to see the score for this someday!
