I love classical, orchestral, and piano music! You used a lot of interesting harmonies and there is the usage of dramatic chords that reminds me of Beethoven. But mixed with a lot of other influences. Maybe Japanese styled music as well? Would love to hear more about your inspirations!

Well, on the inspiration side, it's mostly coming from my imagination at the moment, wich, if I know myself right, is taking bites from Rachmaninnoff, Ghibli, Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Monster Hunter: World, a lot of Dark Souls and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice for the dramatic and bossfight-type of vibe, and... Surely some of the Genshin Impact soundtrack. And, I hope, a bit of my own! (I got carried away with this answer)
Ha! I knew I heard Rachmaninoff influence. I thought some of it also sounded kind of Gershwin-esque as well, which would also fit. Since Genshin Impact was an influence, you could have this "Gershwin Impact."
Overall I thought it was very good and shows a lot of ability to use dissonance in a complex way.
One thing I might add as a constructive feedback is that there's kind of a vertical similarity throughout the piece, in that it feels kind of busy throughout the whole thing, without being punctuated by variations in overall amount of sounds happening at once.
Overall, very good work!
