Hello! Here is an original piano improvisation of mine, Esquisse d’un rêve. I'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback, thanks.

Hello,

Listened to it twice.

It's a fantastically beautiful piece. The left hand got a bit muddy at times, maybe it's just an audio preference thing. The RH is very sparkling and you seem to have a nice mixture of romantic/almost jazzy/impressionistic harmonies going on to my ears.

There were moments where it felt like it was going too long. But it's just so darn sparkly and emotive, I had to keep listening. I'm probably a sucker for these sorts of pieces. Subjectively, I felt something in my heart when I listened to your music. The music itself seems a bit transient though. After it's all said and done, I'm left with a pleasant feeling, but there is nothing that is too memorable that remains. Whether that is a good or bad thing (or even something that most people might experience), I will leave that up to you to decide!

Hello @electricporridge27!

Wow, is that really an improvisation? Please tell me it isn't... This sounds amazing; you have incredible piano sense and wonderful ideas. It's such a pleasure to listen to. Sometimes, people appear in this forum who discourage me with their sheer talent, as if saying, "Hello, when are you going to quit music?"—well, not literally, but you know what I mean, haha. It's truly at that high of a level.

I'd love to listen to your non-improvised pieces, too.

Thank you for sharing and welcome here :)

Best,

Lithl.

Great piece! I like a lot the phrasing and the interpretation. Some passages made me think of some pieces of Cécile Chaminade (Automne, for instance).

After listening to it twice, I felt there may be a moment towards the central section of the piece where it was going a little too long. However, I agree with @Grant Weep analysis: the piece is emotional and it needs time to develop.

Looking at the score in the video, I noticed something that I also experience with many similar videos. I usually read a little ahead of the music, so I often find that the score moves to the next line or page too late for me. I don't know whether there is an optimal solution to this, since the best moment to turn the page depends on how far ahead the reader is following the score. However, I think this may make the experience somewhat a little frustrating for more experienced musicians.
