Impression from a dance on youtube

Hello everybody, I published my Toccata for piano, played by the great Valentina Messa on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQbm5uNu1xo&index=2&list=PLW8qvjJew7FdvaP1HJ5ZA73nfVqWGguai Please put "like" (if you like) to support my work. Here is some information about the piece: The inspiration for the creation of this piece comes from the free dance in the streets of Sao Paulo do Brazil, I saw during the Carnival. The piece is not descriptive, from the dance it gets the artistic idea, translated into musical elements. The flows and change continuously. Opposite elements appear to be inferred one from one another, in a continuous, never repetitive flow, like dancer movements. A tribute to dance, to dynamism, and therefore a tribute to life, expressed by intense rhythm, melodic, and timbrical contrasts. The piece is in the form of piano "Toccata", structurally divided into two equal parts in length. The strong dynamic and rhythmic aspect, emerges immediately, at the beginning. Then gradually, melodic elements bring to a sort of cantabile part (from 0:43 to up to 1.20). From 1:24 to 2:15 there is a more introspective moment, which insists on the lower timbre of the piano. Gradually, rhythmical dynamism and dynamic strength return to the foreground. In 2:52 there is a kind of delicate parenthesis, which instead insists on the highest registry of the instrument. From 4:18 starts the second part. It is characterized by greater freedom but is joined to the first one by harmonic, rhythmic and melodic elements. Great variety again: opposed elements, derive one from one another, in a continuous flow, as a logical consequence. The beginning of the second part is lively and cheerful, then it brings to a lyrical, sentimental moment (5:36). Finally, the quick and intense movement, the unbridled dance predominate, in a crescendo of energy, to a sudden exhaustion. All the best to you!
