Brittleness, a mini-ballad.

Here it is, as short as possible to say something.

Hi Luis.

Wonderful piece, as always. These, and others, demonstrate (in my opinion) that you very well know how to mould, blend, and essentially work with otherwise small and simple motives, turning them into part of something very personal and charismatic. This work is very substantial yet brief and arguably simple, and thus reminds me again of a composer of another website that is also an expert on saying much with just the precise amount of material, neither more nor less.

To me, it is always a pleasure to listen to your works, and yeah I know this feedback may be of little value and that I might be repeating myself but it is the truth. If I have to say something, as negligible as it may be, I would tell you that the end might have convinced me more if the penultimate bar had begun with a rit. and the very last note had been an E instead of an A. 

Many thanks for sharing.

Kind regards,
Daniel–Ømicrón.    

Hi Luis,

Other than brittleness I would say there's some bitterness in it as well like a 100% cocoa. It's bitter of course but also beautiful and sweet in other way as well. I enjoy your slight flavouring or bitterness of those weak dissonance (not a strong dissonance that will scare one). I will say your study of schematas definitely gets into your blood now since the schematas themselves are small motivic unit which you can now utilize them without difficulty! I agree with @Omicronrg9 with everything he said and I'm happy to see you post again in the site after a short hiatus! Of course it will better to be played live with Daniel's suggestion.

Thank you for your comments and time.
Yes, sometimes you have to take a break from all this activity, it depends on other obligations.
Regarding music, I think that everything you learn, whatever style it is, is positive and if we know how to process it properly, it will help us to compose.
At the end of the day, although music throughout history has been changing style, sometimes with radical twists, it is also a linear process and always the music of today is based in part on that of yesterday.
