Wendi has asked me to review her track "suddenly"

I must first admit this is a huge genre jump for me.  I will not be able to give much constructive critisim as i admittingly know little about classical music.

The begining of this track simply doesnt do much for me.  It sounded a little cheesy to me with the little bell sound playing.  And then out of nowhere this track takes a magical turn towards a beautiful, amazingly crafted piece of art.

It is at this point that few artists can claim they can make better music then wendi.  It is simply amazing.  It could be the genre, but i just feel the begining is such a dissapointment to what follows.  The ride is so fun after the intro.  and the musicwomanship is so amazing.  This second half could definatly be heard on a radio station out there somewhere.  Commercial radio? definatly not.  There is no audience for huge commercial radio.  There is little commercial radio available to modern classical artists.  However, i hear it occasionally where they play modern artists.  and in such a case, the radio station would benifit from this song.  Produced to mere perfection, inspiring and almost magical.

I find myself a little dissapointed when the track comes to an end, the string work, the sultry cunning piano, the mystics all comes to an abrupt end.  maybe too abrupt.  However it had me wanting more and more, so i would play the track again.  The only problem with that is that means i have to go through the intro again.  Again maybe it is my lack of knowledge of the genre, but i feel the intro takes away from the whole track, and it might get a lot of listeners to ditch out early before they get to the meat of the package. 

Wendi, you put together such a beautiful piece of work here, and based on my harsh grading scale where 7= radio play (10)  and above that is just gravy, i would overall rate this a 7.5-8, and maybe even mid 8's to low 9's if the intro sounded as inspired as the middle, and if the end didnt end so abruptly covered by a wave sound.  great job, and it looks like ill have to go back and recommend you as an artist now
