First time posting here.
ive never really shared my music to random people so this is a first.
any feedback or thoughts are welcome, though this is a older piece.

about the romanza:
the underlying harmony isnt anything special, though i feel it allows a more expressive and disconnected melody without overwhelming the listener.
the B section is pretty cool
if anyone wants to try learn it id be delighted as im nowhere near good enough myself, but i do have to say good luck... this was not composed for playability, and the left hand arpeggios dont have especially consistent patterns. im too lazy to change it.

-enjoy the music

Hello

I’ve really enjoyed this piece.

It’s no wonder people have been reluctant to comment – if they’re generally reluctant to do so anyway – when they come across something like this… which is even worse.

It begins deceptively, presenting only the stable part, but soon you start to hear dissonances and elements that stray from the foundation.

For most people, who are steeped in the harmony of the Baroque period, that’s the turning point where they might think, ‘This bloke’s a terrible composer’.

But in other cases, as is the case for me, it’s the point at which my interest is piqued and I want to know where it’s all heading.

The trick – or the skill, in this case – is to create a coherent piece, in which those dissonances no longer sound like mistakes but rather an integral and essential part of what is being heard. I believe this has been achieved.

I’ll just make one observation, and it’s something you yourself have pointed out. The arpeggio in the left hand is like an ostinato, and it would be good to break it up (apart from the isolated bars) with another pattern.

Best regards.
