Romance No.3 in A Minor

I like the piece. But it sounds a bit monotonous because of three facts: the melody is almost constantly based on the same motive (with easily recognizable variation), the pedal notes, the unchanged left hand pattern.

Agree with Luis, this piece is quite beautiful, but lacks of direct variation. Since it's a romance and and not a prelude, and the piece is more than 2 minutes you would expect something of countermotion, changes, contrast. Melodically and harmonically talking is beautiful to a great point. This kind of has the same mistake as my Musical moment in D major, but I guess sometimes you don't have the time, or other things just doesn't feel as right. Sometimes monotony is also a good thing, and so demonstrated Satie.
