I really had hoped I would've had more time for criticism and feedback but I guess that's just the way it goes.
I did get some useful ideas from Dr. Ross and the others in the class.
I am definitely going to change the length between the times that the three themes come in and also I'm going to try to have the cello theme from The Coward play against the piano part of Id.
I'm excited to see what comes out of it.
Eventually I'm going to put all three pieces up so you'll be able to hear them and how they connect with each other.
On a somewhat unrelated note, I was debating whether or not I was going to play the piano part myself for the recital. I came to the decision that I'm going to get Ian Baird to play the piano part with Saird because I want to sit down and hear it interpreted by someone else. Plus, everyone knows that Ian can pound out a few chords on the piano and that's exactly what I want in Id.
Anyways, that's all for now. I might have another few words to say later when Fei is complete.
Thanks for listening/reading.
Sleep sweet.

A fine journal entry once again, Melissa!
On your point about not getting as many comments as you wanted because of time running out, I would just point out that you did get some helpful comments (as you acknowledge, of course!), and it is hard to say whether more time would have yielded more comments or not.
For some reason, there are occasions when almost the entire class is quiet following a student presentation of their composition, and, conversely, there are times when several all have things to say at the same time. It never seems to have that much to do with the music, as far as I can tell. It's just a curious aspect about class dynamics in a workshop context!
In any event, you seem to have received enough feedback to give you some ideas, so I am looking forward to seeing where you go with them!
I'm certainly not complaining!
The comments that were said will be incredibly beneficial.
I definitely agree about the class though.
Sometimes you can hear a pin drop and other times people are interrupting all over the place!
All in all, I am happy with how the presentation turned out.
