Patience, my son.

Many people are on vacation during the summer and don't come around the forums.

Perhaps when I get a chance, I will look at it.

The first through measures hark back to a previous composition of yours (Waltz in F Major i believe). Overall, the piece is so sad, like "Why would I wanna dance now, I'm gonna start crying...". It really doesn't strike me as a Waltz, more of the calm before the storm.

I like this piece a great deal...it's very subtle, yet engaging and effective, even if it's a tad formulaic. I'd say it's rather remarkable--I don't know many these days who have to confidence or even the ability to express themselves this way so clearly and with such a good grasp of pacing and form, without wallowing in sentimental cliches.

it's a very lovely piece, and I'd say it does have waltz like things to it, but also a prelude oO

the phrasing of it - and/or the playing of it - seems sort of choppy though.. longer thoughts better expressed would be good

nice though

No problem. Im almost finished writing up the sheet music.

Hmm, it's very pretty... I'd recommend you use the pedal playing it(if you didn't), and maybe shape the phrases a bit more =). Otherwise, I love this piece! It's quite Chopinesque - and melancholy - and the melodies and chords go nicely.

How did you record your piece? I want to record some of mine, but I don't know how...

I didn't record this piece, I just used sibelius to turn it into a mp3 because it sounds better than a midi.

I can't even play piano.
