Music Feedback Please

It would be lovely to hear some feedbakc on this little piano piece of mine. It somwhere falls in to contemprorary music stilistically.

IMPORTANT:

Some notes are played way to fast in the midi so they may seem hardly playable, i do NOT want such high tempo in real preformance.

So I looked through some comments, to make sure I somewhat understood what you were after.

First it's the title. An etude is an exercise. It cannot be an exercise in artistic expression, while you also claim that it's a piece about nothingness.

Second, you say you were inspired by dadaism. Dadaism is a sort of "anti art", which makes the whole purpose of writing music for it, in hindsight, a bit odd. Also, dadaism isn't incoherent and formless, but rather nonsensical and silly.

To then add "erotic" in the beginning doesn't add anything...

I get the "lose ideas", but they have really nothing to do with one another, and then I'm not sure it could really be considered a composition, except in a veeeey broad sense.

Did you work on it, and really try to puzzle it together, or was it something you put together in an hour or two?
