Hi Tom
This works Compositionally quiet well in my opinion. Although, I would start it at .11 The first glance start from beginning might work with full strings. But with all the music today on the net. It might loose the listener until it start picking up. And picks up it does. This is a physically written piece of music.
The piece is Irishy Mozartian and quiet inspiring. Something new. The piano is what makes it. You're a fine pianist for a flutist. This will also push my limitations as an old man at the piano perhaps, You know you and the spanish teacher are the only one's here writing original classical material. You've got my encouragement, stay at it. Forgive me if I offend anyone, But I'm rarely on the forum. I could be wrong. But I'm not hearing any others, for that reason you most likely scared any responders....
The piece obviously needs the Jay Bacall treatment. I find his demos of Pavane and the Mozart 3rd, mvt. piece the finest on this forum of giving the MIR and VSL justice. His demo's of those pieces have out-done any previous real orchestra recordings. Check with I-tunes. If anyone hears different, please post. Not to put all others down here on the forum either, they're all quiet good, but if you can give the score to Jay and talk him into it. You would see a fine composition just as any from the past.. John Fields was another inspiring Irish that gave Chopin his style. Of-course non of us will ever reach those giants from the past of the privacy stay home and compose age, of build a fire and hunt for your food days, and ther's no plumbing to worry about, or paying for much or any one clamping on and bothering.. We have to go to work in this day and time, food prices keep going up and we're tied with everyone around the world. Head games ! So you're accomplishing a fast pace in composition in the midst of .... a rare Hurra !!
Its wonderful to hear others put up mozart and Bach's music being finally sampled in a matter of hours by fine programmers. This forum is really picking up in the musical genre'. And Those that write their own compositions should be noted for it is quick and it takes 20 minutes to write, after a lifetime of training ! From the age of pre romantic, structure oriented and piano dynamic era. If you get PaulR's and Williams blessing here, then you're established. You might have to throw something at PaulR to wake him up. He's propably sun-bathing on the english riviera...
Please keep posting your new pieces, I'm quiet interested in new material and fine music. Like fine wine, it has to ferment in time, and recognized with others, for it might be a good year for tom....
Ther's no need to reply please. Keep your piece of mind. For if you have that, you have everything.
