piano Is my Piano Prelude any good? (Recorded Performance)

Hello Everybody, 

I know it's been a while since I was last active here, but I wanted to share a new prelude I've composed. This is a rather short work I plan on sending off to a piano composition competition, since I think the recording will do it justice. 

Another thanks to my piano teacher who made the effort to record my work. Here is a description of the piece:

“A Prelude written during a time of uncertainty, and it reflects the idea of anxiety + release. However, the trio section is especially beautiful. I recommend listening to it while eating vanilla ice cream; it will enhance your experience.” 🍨🍯🎹

Let me know your thoughts in terms of harmony, melody and form.

 Thank you truly 

Very interesting harmonies, rhythms,and ,melodic lines ... Can you tell us something about your style and intent here?   Jazz?    I enjoyed your work.

hello mark,

thank you truly for your comment, there were many influences that went into this work: shostakovich’s jazz suites, a few latin american rhythms, and my own personal anxieties during that period. I think the trio was directly inspired by my efforts, in trying to find a sense of peace through writing. I believe the added extensions are default chords I usually navigate to, to bring color to the harmonies. This is a more personal work, but hope it maintains some individuality. 

elated that you enjoyed my work.
