he'll really fire up your progress and hopefully inspire you?
I liked your choice of chords, instruments and the arrangement - very nicely done!
Two small gripes if you'll allow me - at 0.44, 4.24 and 5.40 the melody line notes don't quite fit the
underlying harmony (to my ears anyway)? You play the melody lines quite 'staccato', wondering
whether the feel of the whole piece might be improved by playing the melodies in a more 'flowing'
fashion, softly from note to note with more 'feel'?
Well done Mario - looking forward to more classical masterpieces from you!!
Best, Carl

Thanx Carl for listening and commenting. I bookmarked your video suggestion. I'll check those areas that concerned you. It maybe that I used some chord extensions in those areas. I have "weird" hearing at times as I do like using those extensions, but they probably don't really work in genres like this. That is unless you are like me and my hearing!

I guess Do You Hear What I Hear was a bad song choice!
