Well done on coming third!
This is one of the most enjoyable songs I have heard in the last couple of weeks.
The first minute, the piano driven piece, was lovely. For me, I couldn't stop thinking of Russian aristocracy dancing in a grand hall before 1917. After that things get darker, the outbreak of war and the realisation that not all is well.
I have been reading a lot of Ken Follet recently so that's perhaps why I got that imagery from the piece.
As I said, I really enjoyed it!

Thank you sir! I'm honored that you found this so enjoyable. I can easily imagine what you have written while listening to this. It's kind of neat to get different angles from the same piece of music!
This is so awesome
bassfiddlejones responds:
Many thanks!
Wow and wow only!
Best thing is tempo shift apart from it being musically excellent keeping listener haunted in its beauty. I have listened it twice and best interpretation is of yours very own imagination. However an era of war also came into my mind where initially a preparation and then an outburst of war is going on.
Your music has always been a type learning session to me by carefully listening all parts, thinking what is where, and trying to implement. Your cello playing is amazing as well and I was thinking all my way that its coming now, and now :) Thank you very much for sharing. Last but not least, congrats on taking third place in the contest and.......its is easy for you anyway!!!

Thanks for the review Emid! I always appreciate your feedback. I'll have to head over and leave some thoughts on your work!
I remember listening to this when deciding which person to vote for. I rather liked this piece, it was definitely an interesting take on the theme. The waltz is really fun and you managed to combine that with some cinematic-esque sounds to it. The song seems to flow pretty well too, only compliant I have is that the ending feels a tad underwhelming. Very good job.

Thanks for the review man. I definitely took a non-traditional approach this time around... glad you liked the piece!
great melody, i imagine hearing this in an Studio Ghibli movie, would really fit in n__n
good job.
