It was really cool and expressive ride

I really enjoyed this piece. It had such a great dynamic feel to it. The tone was a nice rich one, too. Thank you!

This is really great, I like the power in this composition, it's very evocative and expressive. The only thing for me is the left hand's arpeggio from 1:13 to 2:09 does get a bit too much for me. I noticed that there were some variations to it, but I think more obvious variations in the arpeggio pattern and rhythm, and letting the arpeggio stop at certain points, would help this section become even more interesting!

Thanks for your comment and listening!  Hi! i listening here, Yeah! I actually wrote it on sheet music and some movements would actually get complicated if I were to play it, I also wanted to enjoy this piece at home lol I believe I composed it last year lol. I'll keep in mind what you said, maybe I'll rewrite some parts, do something different but keep what I already have, just to get these issues right is something to think about. Thanks! O/

I really like the dynamics of the tracks, the mix sounds full, which is not always achieved in other piano tracks. In general, the track feels real, it sounds like I wanted mine to sound haha :D It's very beautiful and emotional, thank you for submitting!

I think you're clipping on some parts of the track, makes it kinda hurtful to listen to on high volume.
you might want to place a limiter on your master channel to avoid it or just adjust the piano's volume :)

I'd also let the ending fade out longer to make it sound more natural & not cut out at the end.
Something I did weas use the sound of the foot being removed from the pedal to avoid the tail being too long, but you can also automate your volume for a more natural artifical fade out.

Nice composition! Keep creating & getting better!
