Hi @Filippo Noti ,

Long work you've done there! The sheer length must have put off some listeners ;-). It's extremely diverse, moving from one style to another. Some movements I liked (e.g.: parts 4 and 5), others less. In general, I found too many repetitions. Here is some detailed feedback (don't know if you were looking for some, but I think that's the idea of the forum in general, so here goes):

Part 1:

In general, very chill music, very relaxing. I felt as though I was in an art museum.

Some more precise feedback you might find useful (based on my personal impressions of course):

* I felt the introductory material, that leads to the more interesting mm. 11-13, was a tad too long (I typically found mm. 3, 7, 9 superfluous)

* In m. 17, my brain was expecting for a change in the first notes of the melody, sth different from the usual G, C, E

* in mm. 21-47

* this too, I felt, was a little too repetitive

* funny writing though, I guess the eighth notes must be played with the left hand?

* mm. 49-56, the idea to reuse the main theme is a good one, with richer chords. Some of them could probably be improved, e.g.: in m. 49, I liked the first 2 chords, but not so much the 3rd one - maybe a G7? Same for the next measures where you repeat the 2nd chord.

* the very last chord, I found out of character, not in the "mood" of your composition (probably a bit too "brutal")

Part 2:

* mm. 60-68: soft, mellow part (a little too mellow to my taste), with some interesting rythmic textures

* m. 69-71: quite a surprising change, I liked that part, especially the arrival of the 3rd voice, well done! I would encourage you to build on that!

Part 3: not a great fan overall, I felt it lacked of some passion: it felt a bit like an exercise

Part 4: really a funny part!

* I liked the little variations in the accompaniement (e.g.: m. 102, 105,

* m. 125: I liked the transition

* interesting chords in the treble in mm. 131-142

* mm. 143-150, I found quite repetitive and aggressive

* brilliant end in mm. 167-169

Part 5: a nice fugue, very baroque, I liked it!

Part 6:

* what a contrast, we're moving from baroque to Satie-like music!

* Although I liked the atmosphere, I found most chords too dissonent (maybe this was the intention). Some were very nice though, e.g.: 202, 204, 207

* I liked the use of the 3rd voice

Part 7: the idea is good, sounds like a very good basis for a song, I would have developped the idea a little more (didn't really see the point of m. 249)

Thanks for sharing, and looking forward to hearing more of your compositions!

Take care,

Julien
