Spring Fair - for violin and piano

I liked a lot of this! There were a few moments here and there where the chord progression or the melodic contour felt a little contrived and unnatural - for example, bar 70, or bars 121-122 (I liked the general idea behind it, but I felt it wasn't pulled off convincingly enough). Otherwise I mostly liked the harmonic unpredictability of the piece and I think you should continue with that sort of thing and see where it goes in future, but I couldn't get a feel for the piece's structure and I never really knew where it was going, even though I felt like I was supposed to know. I also could only really pick out one piece of musical material, which was the main melody. There might have been secondary ideas that recurred throughout the work, but if there were I didn't recognise them. I definitely think a piece of this length could afford to have more motifs, or to play around more with the existing one.
