Ralph!
This is a great piece of music! Right to my liking! Right there! I'd love to play that, but it's difficult to play in the little time I have left (otherwise known as : I can't be bothered!
)
But it is a brilliant work which I've been listening many times from when I first heard it (I was the first reviewer to give the ok for MW forum!)
The score needs some work, however. I know you said it's not complete, etc, but still some pointers.
There are several things that clash. Several elements. Some dynamics with noteheads, some noteheads with other, some accidentals with notes, some tempo indications with legato slurs, etc. All these need to eclipse.
What also is important is to recosinder your spelling. It's all fine, but you write as a composer without thinking the pianist. In such a work with lack of tonality in all honesty, even if you have thought of it this way, there's no reason for double accidentals to exist. Bbb is A, Fx is G, end of story. It is far more complicated for the pianist to read this!
page 10 first system. You have altered the space between the two staves and it really looks ugly!
These are generic comments about the score. I won't go into detail (I don't have a scanner to print the score and make notes on that, and I also don't have the time right now to do that).
As for the music. I think that it's very well thought out and created. Coherent, very alive, very "today", even if it's a sonata. It just felt this way.
The mp3 files help towards that as well, as the recording is clean. I'm assuming it's samples, but is it Finale/Sibelius or a sequencer? And which library if I may ask?
That's all from me.
Thank you for sharing this great work Ralph! congratulations!
