Perhaps natej didn't listen to the whole thing? Anyways, thanks for sharing! There are some compositional rules that are different from improvisational rules, so I will treat this as though you intend this to be a composition. Repetition is important, but don't repeat something more than 3 times without totally changing the idea. It's very hard to get away without that change, and it's very easy to get stuck in repeating the same motive with only minor changes, but then it's get predictable. You've got a good start and a nice idea, now it just needs some refining. Good luck! private piano/voice teacher FT
