Hi to all.

This piano work was inspired by Nobuo Uematsu's music from Final Fantasy X. 
I feel like it's not a great piece, probably because it's been revised too many times, and sounds disjointed as a result.

But interested to know what you think!

Hey @Alex Weidmann!

So this is the piece you wrote that was inspired by "To Zanarkand" from Final Fantasy X?  It's not bad!  When I listen to the original piano piece, and compare it to yours the first thing that I notice is that, in the original the melody is brought out more in high relief.  You can do this too if you use MS Basic Piano soundfont and offset the velocity values of the melody to about 32 higher than the rest to really bring it out of the overall texture.  There are plenty of great emotive harmonic moments in your piece that get lost among the mind numbing narrative of imbalanced piano noodling.  When you don't bring out the melody, the listener doesn't know what to listen for and retreats into a passive listening mode, which is what I think is happening here.  That's my advice - thanks for sharing!
