Great, now I'm interested, damn you and your awesome writing.

Amazing work. your writing is easily on par with my favorite novelists.

>>752644752644

Thank you very much! May I ask: which ones?

>>752983752983 James Patterson, for one and im afraid i cant think of any other examples but to give you a hint at how good i believe this to be i read a ton.

why does everypony call him master

>>767174767174

He's the leader of the local oligarchy. Taking into consideration the fact that Equestria is still a half-feudalistic, half-capitalist country, it is quite possible for him to be called Master.

>>767231767231 ok thanks for clearing that up

>>767335767335

You're welcome

o.o i shall await continuation on this story kind sir, please continue!

Thank you for your praise. I most certainly will.

The events in this story are strangely similar to those in my life... I am a local classical pianist and composer, in relative seclusion. I suffer from depression (the doctor introduced me to ponies), and occasionally I head for the nearby abandoned concert hall to work on my compositions (I do have a Prelude in B Minor). I'm not as rich as the protagonist here, and certainly would be happy if I were more well known. In all, this is a very nice piece, the protagonist is a bit harsh at times, and I still have no idea why Octavia left him. I look forward to future developments.

Thank you for your feedback. Comments like this inspire me to write on.

If you ever like the story so much as to share a piece of your music to fit the atmosphere, please do so. I am an avid fan of classical music myself, though, to be honest, my soul will always cherish jazz the most.

Alas, I do not play the cello, and even if I were to record a song, it would be in audio only. I suggest Beethoven's Sonata No.14 in C# Minor 'Moonlight' Op.27, Chopin's Ballade No.4 in F Minor Op. 52, or if you have a good listening ear for classical music, Liszt's Sonata in B Minor.  It would be good if you revealed that the protagonist played the piano. And for good knowledge, no musical compilation/suite/symphony/sonate/work has a prelude, and then an overture.

I know. The point is, the story is to consist of several "musical works". The first one is "Prelude in Bm", then comes "Symphony in Em". The "Overture in Em" applies to the "Symphony in Em", not to the whole story.

I don't like this guy....... Asshole, and pimp! I hope music straightens him out...

I'd think of such superpony wealth to be a bit unrealistic, isn't it? Surely Celestia would still be tending to the city. Although I really feel that my life is taking a turn towards the opposite side of this story, living in relative poverty and all that. Hay, this inspires me to write a fic about my life!

I really like the dark atmosphere of this story. There is a tone used that I find rare in novels, a tone that effectively captures the attention of the reader. There is one thing I'd like to know --- the tempo marking of the first movement?

>>805416805416

We'll see...

>>806451806451

As a political scientist, I assure you that such "superponies" are quite realistic, unfortunately...

And I would gladly read a fic about your life. I, for one, am putting some background information about myself in all of my characters - but with this one, it is more of a generalised character.

The first movement is Adagio, to be played at 72 BPM but then I'll step up the tempo, as well as try to slow down at some parts

I feel that this is fitting after Octavia's last line there:

This Symphony is complete

Feedback plz?

Well... that sucks.

You need to finish it.

>>11523601152360

But of course! That's just the end of the Symphony, not of the whole story.

How long til y finish? I must have more feels!

>>19644591964459

I'm kinda stuck now...

If it is feels you're longing for, you can always read The Letter
