JLG, if this isn't the coolest thing I’ve seen on this site! - First of all, it's an incredible display of technique - but more importantly, you have the gift of being able to communicate your compositional thoughts in an exceptionally clear manner. This is an absolutely stunning pedagogical work, combining depth of insight with an easy sense of accessibility - And I'm going to have to ask you right here and now if I can use it with my students, with all due credit given to you.
I have one technical question - is that a parallel octave I spy between the alto and the bass at measure 53 - or do you consider the E in the alto as a passing note. My ears say something's wrong. Please tell me I'm right and keep it in as a no-no. (or tell me I'm wrong and keep it because..
ummm... it's not wrong )- I wonder that a few documented mistakes might be a fun way to show what to avoid - but then the performance suffers - unless you include the fix.
Thank you for taking on this project. I should hope that you are beginning to feel a bit excited about this ability of yours. I am very impressed.
