Even on a just the most basic level, this story intrigued me with only the name and short description. I was quickly hooked into what Charlotte and her composer cousin Hillary were saying. The piece is about gender ratios and inequalities in the composing world. It is a very unique concept, something that I’ve never really given any thought to, but it was made very interesting to me in a matter of seconds. First and foremost, the sound quality is great; there were absolutely no sound oddities that distracted me. The editing was also flawless. I felt as though the pace of the story was just right and I didn’t find myself losing interest.

The one problem I had with the piece was that it didn’t include any piano music. I feel as though if there had been even a short segment of Hillary playing the piano, the whole story could have been more cohesive and powerful. There was power present in many other parts of the story, though. The anecdote given in the beginning did not only make Hillary a very likeable character in the piece, but also really reflected what the whole thing was really about; gender equality in music.

Overall, very nice work!
