i just listened to it, and thought it's quite good, except i didn't get much of 'desperation' feeling from it, a little bit melancholy and wandering perhaps.
thanks for posting!

Thanks for listening Signa.
It's strange how music affects people differently. I've been told by other listeners that the music describes "despair" perfectly.
I'm noy sure. I guess it is, what it is, and that's all that it is. As long as listeners enjoy it, I'm happy.
Thanks again, John

Does it describe desparation? I suppose that depends on the listener. A chef and a bus driver would describe despair differently. I heard the despair, and also a little hope. I liked the piece. Thank you.

I listened to it 7 times, excellent piece. Sounds very much like a 2nd movement from a piano concerto. A Saint-Saens missing concerto? Would like to hear the main theme return and the second theme seems very pastoral. Less despair and more nocturne.

I felt despair in your piece very much.
I pictured myself on my hands and knees crying, when listening. Really!
Thanks very much for sharing John.
It would make a great soundclip for a scene in a romantic film.

Thanks everyone for your nice comments.
Pianobuff, loved your description of how the music affected you.
Abnerpeabody, I only develop these pieces to about the 4 minute range. I submit these to music film publishers. They’re not usually receptive to more than 4 minutes a track.
Bkek, the way music affects people differently is very interesting. I guess we’d need a musician/psychologist to answer that phenomenon.
Best, John

I think it's good but I don't get a feeling of despair from it either. I get more of a fantasy feeling, like I'm exploring some new uncharted place.
