Persichetti Exercise 3 - 52 for Piano

I have yet another short piano composition for you prompted by an exercise from Persichetti's "20th Century Harmony".  The prompt was "16.  Expand this piano passage of eleventh and thirteenth chords preserving the general character."

I added lots of dynamics and tempo fluctuations to simulate rubato and bring expression to the music.  Let me know how I did!  Thanks for listening and I'd appreciate any of your comments, suggestions, critiques or just observations.

You must have some delay effect on your piano sounds. Cool idea, and the 5/8 rhythm does a good job breaking things up. I feel that it helps conclude the musical phrase pretty well. As far the the harmony goes, its definitely unique. Like always, nice usage of dynamics and rit. towards your conclusion. These types of details help add to the musicality.

With the accelerando it sounds like Mario music, but later on it sounds like Prokofiev with those dissonances!
