Message from the artist
Hey y'all. I'm setting the difficulty to hard because it sort of technically abides to the challenge but also it maybe doesn't. Please take a look at the description to see whether I've marked it correctly.

Difficulty

B (Hard)

Make a piece that has the same musical notes both forwards and backwards but doesn’t have to be an identical recording.

It sounds really good, what would be awesome is that if you would also layer the melody with other different instruments, I have a feeling it would sound even better! But great work so far! :D

This is really cool! I admire your adherence to form (crab canons are new to me) and I think the whole thing is quite cohesive. It's an interesting take on the challenge since it not only reverses but inverts the notes, if I had more time I'd love to trace it through all the way :) nice job!

This is a really impressive one track submission, very powerful contender for the top ranks.

I like how you did not only palindrome, but you also flipped the voices for a different sound after the reverse. The acceleration is also a nice touch for the turn around. Amazing job with this composition, it sounds really nice and soothing.

I liked the dynamics of the piece!

It was soft on either end and strong in the center. I don't know how musescore works but I think it could be accentuated even further if the velocity of the piano was also toned down with the volume since it kind of just sounds like the same loud piano with a volume knob turned down.

Sounds good! I would've liked to hear more instruments join the piano, but I guess that's more of a personal choice. great job :)
