Hello,

I liked the galloping momentum of the song. And just when it sort of settles in and I'm banging my head to the music...the atmosphere change at 57 was unexpected and pleasant.

Around measure 92 to 100...best part of the piece in my opinion. It sounds...almost kinda jazzy, but not really, I had to try it on the keyboard for myself. Where did you get the idea from for this part?

While you did not ask for feedback on notation...I found that you would do this thing where you wrote A# instead of Bb and it made it hard to follow the music in the beginning.

If you wanted other people to read your sheet music I would recommend looking into that. The first instance of this occurring at measure 12 in the right hand, I would replace the A# with a Bb

Thanks @Grant Weep for your review of @Martynas123 's piece! I would argue that the spelling of the chord in measure 12 is correct with an A# instead of a Bb because the function of the chord in question is a German Augmented 6th chord. The augmented 6th in question is between C and A#. In this type of chord, the C is expected to resolve down to B while the A# resolves up to B. One could argue that its function is similar to a tritone substitution dominant 7th chord which would in fact be spelled C, E, G, Bb. However this type of spelling is used in jazz music. In the classical period, the proper spelling and function was quite different from its conception in jazz.

Ah, thank you for teaching me a new concept @PeterthePapercomPoser . I always just thought of that chord in question as a special dominant chord that is just a half step above the actual dominant chord, so in my mind it was flat because I saw it as a C7 chord, if that makes sense :)

I think I see the logic of having it as a A# now. It's kinda neat how depending on the genre, can be seen different ways.

Sorry @Martynas123 !!
