   You have given us something quite wonderfully emotive in this piece, it’s quite touching. However, I do find myself wanting more, there’s more beauty in your idea than you’ve expressed.

   Whether this is due to work limitations (I get the fact you often work on strict timings) or not I do not know, but I’m sure you could hold our attention with this piece of music for a little longer.

     Sometimes ideas can run for too long.
     This piece is as long as it is, because it’s that long.

     That’s a nice criticism though…
     So thanks.

   I’m with Phil on this one – I think that precisely the point is that it leaves you wanting more; for me, that’s what gives it it that kind of “necessity” or something…

   Lovely!

   As usual, quite beautiful.

   I agree that especially in a piece that uses this kind of repeating piano motif it is important not to stretch it out too much – it can become very tedious very fast! And if in doubt it is better to understate than overstate.

   That being said, this piece is neither over nor understated. A good length. 🙂

   This piece is simply beautiful… haunting, evoking melancholia and hope simultaneously
