    Thanks for your opinion my first and only listener[:D]

    The Theodoro is about a not very genious clown who can´t play any instrument but wants to play a violin.

    He is doing all his best to delight the audience but in his heart he is sad and would rather has another life, he is dreaming of money and of love.

    The music describes a real clown as he could be and with this idea i composed these 9 short pieces. The saxophone is the clown in person with his thoughts and feelings. The pieces of "Theodoro´s Violin Part 1 and Part 2" reflects his view of a violin, his longing for music on this instrument. But he is only thinking "saxophonian" and no one will hear a solo violin.

  • Looks like the last as well! [:O]

    Oh well, one's better than none. The critics must be doing their Xmas shopping. 

    Particularly liked Das Tier.

  •  Hy Colin

    my only critic  [;)]

    seems that you have done all your christmas shopping.

    Wich parts of "The Animal" do you like most or you don´t like. 

    Can you hear any reference to another composer?

    Definitely i search for my own voice in music but some reverences to other composers must be from time to time [:D]

    The last few days i made a composition about a volcanic field on Lanzarote called "Timanfaya"

    It´s only a short piece of coming and going (3min 21sec)

    Merry Xmas,

    Markus


  • Hi Markus.

    Xmas shopping will get done as usual at about 5PM on Xmas Eve![:$]

    Actually liked all of The Animal but especially the tail.  I didn't hear any direct reference but found some of it reminiscent of some jazz I've listened to- but can't remember exactly what at the moment- in a mad, last minute rush to do the packing and head off for the holidays!

    Gave the new piece a quick listen and it sounds good.

    Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year

    Thanks and merry christmas to you too. 

    It´s good if there are no reminiscent parts about one could say "Oh, that´s too much of...(composers name)..." or

    "That could have done... (composers name)...better"

    Sure, i like the music of the 20th Century and the works of Allan Pettersson, Olivier Messiaen, Louis Andriessen, Sergei Prokofieff, Reinhold Gliere, Steve Reich, Arvo Pärt and Philip Glass may have had some influence on "The Animal" [;)]

    Regards,

    Hallo again,

    please have a look at

    http://www.opus100.de/viennacommunity.html (Mozilla Firefox or Internet Explorer 7)

    "Jakobsleiter" & "Atlas Miniatures"

    These two works are my newest, the "Jakobsleiter" is a heavy and loud Piano Concerto of 13 minutes and the "Atlas Miniatures" are 8 pieces made of orchestral material from "Jakobsleiter" but very silent.

    Regards,

    Markus Brylka
