Does the listener leave this piece and find him\/herself humming any of it later? Is the melody the main thing that stays with the listener after hearing this, or not? &#8212; Again, the underlying pulse is strong, but I think perhaps more of the piece&#8217;s overall forward momentum might be better reflected in the overarching melodies (I say &#8216;overarching&#8217;, but the melodic components here are rather subdued).  &#8212; I hope this helps.
