Symphony in C Major, by Sage Millen, 11

I am the one who composed and performed this piano piece on the recording. I composed it last year. It is in the key of C Major and it was inspired by technique because my piece has a lot of hidden scales and triads in it.

Listen to the piece on SoundCloud here.

For those of you who play an instrument, can you make out the hidden scales and triads? Have you ever written any music of your own? What inspires you?
