It is a plethora of wonderfully married contradiction. I have heard a few of your pieces now and truly, you are an inspiration, an absolute inspiration.

You are the most talented current composer I have heard. I prefer your sound to any other composer currently living and I am being COMPLETELY serious.

That is all.
well, effusive praise, indeed!
hehe, thank-you.

It's always nice, of course, to have unconditional fans

It balances out those who DON'T like my music

I'm an old-fashioned curmudgeon. I like my music neo-tonal and "pretty". So I'm glad some poeple are enjoying it.

This symphony (which I STILL need to finish, dammit) is my first "descriptive" work. I hope some of what I tried to describe is coming through. I wish I could attach the images that inspired it, but mere pictures would not do justice to the beauty that I saw. And I am afraid my music cannot either.

In musical criticism, when issues of craft and technical consideration are set aside, what remains is more subjective. However, until technical issues are dealt with, the subjective portion bears considerably less weight.
