I like those tone transitions, although a rather simple rhythmical theme throughout the piece, which gives it a special 'taste' to my ears. Nonetheless, I think all pieces have their characteristic beauty.

Best regards for all composers.

I like the simplicity, tiny things, pretty sonorities, mininalism.
I think "less is more".
I 've made John Cage words: "I don't like meaningful sound. If sound is meaningless, I'm all for it."

So my vote is for Miki's work (11. Miki)

Aurora

I like this composition, I think the central theme is very original and it creates a lunar atmosphere.
A smooth theme with a light accompanyment is what it wants for a piece like that.

Very good vespa!

I vote n.1 - Aurora

In my opinion, this piece has a good building. It is also very good the development of the theme to which the piece is based.

Congratulations to all for your compositions!!

I vote 4. Unreachable
Pros:
- the second part is very good, especially the final
- recycling of the few material
I think in some ways, it looks like my piece, so I can understand better what kind of cares CosmicD used for composing.
Cons:
- the fist part is a bit anguish/boring.
One note, not a criticism: with a general listening, the sense of the continuation is a bit doubt: like it lacks an development (it's difficult to explain this in words and in english...) because the second part is timid, it needs a contrast, as a determined part, probably with some more 2 bars in Coda to confirm the resolution...

Let me some random comment about others.

10.Lyra's Lyric in a global view it's good, the structure, and it's also played very well.

Miki I'm sure you will win: I don't vote you because:
A. I prefer to vote a playable-piece for a man (it is just the same for Aziraphal 2. Wings of Passion)
B. I find some fx are forced especially for pianoteq (but contest rules want only Pianoteq instances, to give an opinion is not easy... );
C. long anthem ok, but much repeats and few developments.
I searched and listened Yiruma, VERY GOOD!, probably 'river flows in you' was a good inspiration of tecniques, grace-notes part, and also for the structure: but also Yiruma has much repeats an few developments: it's a feature of commercial music, not of classic or pseudo-classic music.
Anyways I don't found in your piece 'already listened material' as someone said. Late nights.. long work.. well done!

Anyone said something about resonè: I like it, it's nice, dissonances tastefully, a bit crazy, short (as usual for an impromptu)

Good Luck to all

10. Lyra's Lyric

It seemed the most beautiful song to me - although a simpler composition than some but performed with emotion that won me over.

(Very close) runner-up's: Espagnolades (great "serious" latino composing, but the performance would need a tad more rhythmic accents), Bagatelle no 13 (for the high Keith Emerson factor), V()id Movement 4 (sad and creepy, reminded me of Rosemary's Baby), Miki (for the bombastic pseudo-orchestra)
