These are all very interesting comments, but just because someone has experience doesn't mean you can't have a differing opinion on their work. I commented and critiqued the work out of the desire to help, not to belligerently insult the piece on the whole.
Geez, you make one comment, you have ONE OPINION on ONE SPECIFIC ASPECT of a work and people think the world's coming to an end. Jesus, people, wake up! The way I understand how this forum works, people post for feedback... as in, what others like and what they don't like. I expressed my opinion, QC argued with me that my opinion was wrong, and I responded with further support of my opinion (i.e. using specific examples in his score).
I actually agree with most of you that his work is pretty damn good! I just think there are certain things he could fix and it would be better. But that's my opinion. He doesn't have to do anything based on my opinion alone, but at least he has it, true and honest as it may be, and he's better for it because he's not having sunshine blown up his butt. We do ourselves no favors by holding back our thoughts, especially when it is about music.
Sorry if my criticisms are too "technical" in nature... I was just trying to point to specific examples that illustrated my concerns with the piece. That is ALL.
Everyone, stop being so sensitive. None of us will learn anything if we're all going to be so defensive, even the more experienced composers. You post your music, and you get honest feedback meant to help you, no matter your age, your experience, or your position in life. That's what we do to help each other.
