"Thank YOU for listening and taking time to leave such a positive comment!"
"I liked the piece, tranquil and changing tempo.
For me the emergence of single notes starting from 2:15 sound a bit strange and "broken". I think I would prepare them by changing music or tempo before they emerge. On the other hand, this sounds…"

"Jenny, I found this pleasant. Your chords are nice, your fidelity is good, the melody is emotional. If I could offer one thing in the way of a critique, I would say that what you are not doing anything I have not heard before. If you want to fit…"
"I've listened to it about a half dozen times now (that means it's good). The underlying harmonic structure is intoxicating. However, there is a melodic phrase that I think is underused (it's only used twice), the phrase that begins after the slow…"
"OMG! I am so encouraged by all of these wonderfully positive comments! Almost at a loss for words to respond! Which, if you know me, is an astounding predicament! I really appreciate getting this kind of feedback from fellow musicians particularly!…"
"My impression on the first listen was that this piece had been improvised- I was surprised to read that you'd notated it from the outset.
The advantage to music with an improvised feel (whether it is or not) is that it tends to flow.

"Jenny...
I am by no means a professional, but I think your piece was lovely. Very simple and uncluttered. You didn't try to make it more than it was. Very easy to listen to. Just a nice piece of music."

"Jenny,
I just listened to a few of your tracks on sound cloud. I thought they were all lovely. One thing that there will alway be a demand for is simple piano music. Do you remember composition class at USF? I was in it with you. I think…"

"Thank you Roger and filgood! Your comments really encouraged me! I have not yet put it into finale. I have it hand notated with pencil and paper. I composed it literally note by note as it came to me, so this was not an improvised piece. I do have…"
"Hello,
Very nice, did you write note for note before playing or are you improvising over a chart?
I could see very well this piece as an intro to an orchestral development around the theme.
And nice playing as far as I can hear."

"Hi Jenny, I really enjoy short pieces like this. Playable, and with a purpose
to each note. I love the chords and cadence, with a Rachmaninoff flavor.
These pieces seem to sound even better 'late night' if you know what I mean,
like a nocturne. A…"

"Thank you so much for this thoughtful reply. As I look at the piece with that in mind, I am pleased with the texture of it and the tone. I am not completely satisfied yet with the structure. I composed it pretty quickly, so I think now it is time to…"
"Very beautiful. I bet you are pleased with it yourself. Or could you point out anything that you are not satisfied with in the composition itself? I listened to it twice and on both times I went like "wait, what was that... oh, I get it" on a few…"
"Thank you SO much for taking time to listen and provide feedback. Yes, it is simple and intentionally so, due to not having time to practice piano anymore (hectic job) and as a general rule, my focus is more and more on simplicity. I composed it…"
"Honestly Jenny, it appears though this whole thread has been muddied up a bit with a battle between Windows and Mac so I will try and keep my answer nice and simple based on my experience with my iMac.
Since it seems like you are just going to…"

Greetings Jenny,
I like Piano Talk very much. It makes a beautiful statement, and has nice changes. Thanks for sharing.
Very best,
Larry Elliott
Thanxs! How long have you been playing music?
Thanks Jenny
Hi Jenny:
Nice work. I particularly liked "Simply You". It had a number of surprises and pleasant progressions. Thanks for sharing.
