What can one say when you’re clearly an accomplished performer and composer? I was looking at the detail with which you prepared the score. It looks pretty demanding but the effect is as superb as midi will allow!
Unfortunately, midi doesn’t do you any favours ”“ in live performance the different lines would be brought out with ease and the tonal coloration of the individual strings would be more emphatic.
It’s a fine work; the cross-rhythms came off well even so, especially the way the patterns swap between parts. (The harmony is right up my street!) I’m not too acquainted with the guitar repertoire but it’s a refreshing change from the Villa-Lobos and Moreno-Torroba I occasionally listen to.
The ending seemed abrupt but that's midi again. I picture a live performer pausing silent for a few seconds before visibly relaxing to indicate ‘the end’. In a recording the closing harmonics would be allowed to ring for a few seconds.
And”¦this work does press the case for a solo instrument section.
