Hello @Derek Pintozzi,

Welcome to the forum!

I love that it has expressive melody and some interesting harmony like the augmented A-C#-F chord. I love your constant use of augmented chords throughout the piece. I really love viola playing melody which gives me mellow feeling. In around 1:40 I like you try viola’s higher range! I love its high register. In 2:30 you go for piu Mosso with some good contrast of tempo and texture. The structure is appropriate with the climax at the end. What I think you can work on is that you put all the melodic significance to the viola and the piano receives almost no melody! For me as a chamber work the interaction between players is important, and having one instrument sticking to one role makes the piece less varied. But still I enjoy this melancholic piece! Thx for joining us sharing your music here!
