Ripples

This piece has come about from my studying. Learning different styles and more about chord progressions. This is my work for the day. I'm looking forward to seeing where this takes me. 
Enjoy

    Wow, that's very powerful. Lovely piano. I'd like to hear that expanded.

    Definitely a nice start.  Reminds me of some of Bach's uptempo classical piano concertos.

    Bueno! when the synth comes in, I thought it buries the piano a little. Your piano could maybe have a little less reverb. It is an EXCELLENT piano patch you have here, what are you using for piano?
     
    If you put this together in a day of experimentation, then THAT was a GOOD DAY!
     
    thanks for the share,

    Very nice Gus! I'd like the feel tempo to ebb and flow just a bit to give the piece some emotion. Great start though!

    jamesg1213 - Many thanks for taking the time to listen. I have indeed expanded it. This piece is now 3 mins long.
    Waltenstein Studios - Thanks Walt, Yes I was trying to write from the classical era. It's cool using inversions properly.
    Jablowmi19 - Very kind of you to say so. I just write!
    emeraldsoul - Thanks, It's funny how quick things can be pieced together. Once I has a chord progression working, ideas pop up.
    Wookiee - Thanks again for stopping by. :)
    clintmartin - Thanks for the feedback. I'm using EastWest Hollywood strings and Steinway piano
    jrfrogers - Many thanks for listening.
    dcumpian - Cheers Dan, I did have that as an idea, moving into a gentle part and building once more
    RobertB -  It's all finished now. Time to move on. Thanks
    kakku - Very kind of you to say so. You have to keep trying new things, even if it's old in style.
    drma173 - Thanks for checking it out Tony :)
    Lynn - Thanks Lynn. Yes, you care right time to write a new piece :)
