It is a tad repetitive, but it was only a first draft. The latest version is pretty hot. As for Julliard, we'll see. I'm starting my senior year in high school this fall, but I don't know where I will apply. I am planning to major in musical composition at the moment, but I have been known to change my mind. Thanks.

I love hearing about what people think about when listening to my music. Yeah, I need to expand this a bit when I get another idea. She has not played this piece, but I expect she will this year.

You would give it a 9. Ruining my perfect 10 streak! lol imma jk. To be honest, I think a lot of what you didn't like can be fixed in a different recording I have saved in WAV format, therefore incompatible with Newgrounds. I had to settle for the lesser mp3 version.

*Note to all that take the time to read review responses: A superior recording can be obtained by providing me with your email address and asking for it. It really is a very different sound.

Specifically, the piano is louder and has a much better ring to it, making it sound much less synthesized. The cello is more expressive sometimes, although the only complaint that can be made is that the cello is a little awkwardly inconsistent in the way it plays some notes... but overall I like it much better. Yes, cello, the beautiful, mellow string instrument. I respect all of its players. Ah, so you liked the ending this time! Yeah, me too. At least the piano part. The synthesized cello sounds a little funny... I sure hope she plays it. I can play most of the piano part, so that'd be pretty cool... I can dream at least.
Thanks a lot Vesta

You know, I've gotten some complimentary reviews before, but this has to be one of the nicest one's I've ever gotten. Not much I can say to that other than thanks. I like your grading template there; I think I may use that. Might change it a bit, something like:

Melody:
Harmony:
Rhythm:
(extra spot, if something was really outstanding, like imagery in this case, or needed extra work)
Overall:

Not much different. Anyways, only thing left to say is that without the harmony, the melody is nothing. Just listen, the melody is just an arpeggio. But the harmony is what makes the melody interesting.
It goes: I iii IV
Yeah, I really like this song a lot. One of my best ever. All the reviews have been so positive, it's really wonderful. Thanks again Rocko.

Thanks man, it's what I do best. You always have to keep things in perspective. And for me that means that I have to accept that I only have another year with her before college and she's not interested, so I just need to move on and focus on music.
