Terra, in my opinion, works well until 1'30'', then less so. At that point, it seems like you want to close rather than resume, but instead you resume in a weak/limp way and then go somewhere else that leads nowhere and which, in fact, you close "without a reason"

Notte, I find it more of a long accompanied melody than a piece with its own, albeit minimal, structure. Around 1'10'' there are transformations that could have launched you towards something more articulated, but even here you preferred to close ....

Since musically you don't lack ideas, it is time for you to focus on a piece that has a complete path, even a short ABA, but that gives the listener a sense of completeness, something I have never felt in your pieces.

Interesting thematic ideas, also melodically. Both Terra and Notte seem like long introductions. Ale, it seems to me that you have intercepted the problem... from my point of view, you absolutely must dare more on a formal level. I am writing this because your ideas deserve it.

In fact (for now I have only listened to Notte), they seem absolutely like embryos of potential developments; coming from me, who doesn't have a good relationship with development, it sounds like blasphemy, but

you can feel all of this.

Thank you for the comments! In reality, you have captured what I would like to convey through music: a sense of incompleteness, leaving a suspended ending, an "unfinished" quality that must suggest and create evocations and images; I do not want to create pieces that are finished products, but, as Piccinesco said in the best possible way, "embryos" that can indeed be developed, perhaps even into symphonies, but which for the moment remain suspended.

But there is a difference between suspension or incomplete... I say this because it still maintains a rhythm... so it is more of a truncation than a suspension

Perhaps tonal language is, by definition, too conclusive. It is difficult to suspend. So much so that the one who managed to do something is Britten, but tonal "functions" no longer exist.

Or harmony in fourths and so on

Anyway, I find these individual panels pleasant.

Until next time.
