Excellent
Certainly the best piano piece I have seen... I'm sick and tired of newage piano musings... it's good to see something of broader and more impressive tastes.
Great work... it almost sounds Russian-Late Romantic to me. The dynamics could have been better, and I think the pedal could have been utilized more. In addition, a more rubato approach could have been taken to certain passages, as often times late romantic piano music ventures into a realm where time signatures disappear (often times through the tricks of 7/8 or 5/4). The last note might sound better if sustained and perhaps even have a rubato arpeggio above it leading up through the minor triad up an octave or two and perhaps even ending on a 7th to give that incompleteness often favored.
You express a lot of themes in this piece, and I seriously feel it would be an absolutely incredible piece to orchestrate as a purely orchestral work beyond a concerto (I would volunteer to do this, but I don't know if I have the time and it sounds like it's a recording, which is hard to work with). There are elements of dozens of artistic styles throughout both the Romantic Era and even so far back as late Baroque... from a theory viewpoint, it's a magnificent culmination of dozens of traditions.
Your use of dynamics and spreading of chords is very impressive. Because it sounds recorded, I give you EXTRA props. The transitions are seamless, which is more than I can say on some of my own works. By far one of the greatest pieces in the Orchestral selection of Newgrounds.
Awesome work!
