      Tyrant

      By Thatguy v2.0 · Posted

      bro where you been  I never know what to say for incomplete works, but I'm glad you gave us a taste of what's to come. I get theatrical haunting vibes, like Mahler meets Berlioz or something. I like the idea at the end. That theme reminded me of the Coriolan overture for some reason. I guess I like short rhythmic exciting themes lol. Very cool stuff, it sounds like it's going to be dramatic! 😄

      First Movement of Sonata No. 1 (Rendition by Zeraton) - Original Composition

      By Thatguy v2.0 · Posted

      Yeah it doesn't sound like a live performance to me either, but the rendition is quite nice.  There were a lot of cool moments in the music, especially at bar 155. The mysterious free tempo feeling was just what it needed. Very Beethoven inspired, yes? Awesome job with this, and thanks for sharing!

      Lamentoso from String Sextet in G-flat Major, 2nd Movement

      By Thatguy v2.0 · Posted

      but is it though? I think what happened was you thought about how to fit different material together, without intentionally trying to adhere to a strict formula. However, because you care so much about coherence and composing technique, your "disorganized" form flows really nicely, even with the cadences and random pauses. I've already mentioned to you how much I like this. In fact, knowing your planned structure, I'd say you really did justice with the form, since it's beginning moments are a nice break from the gorgeous first movement. One thing I've noticed about your music is you're very good at "Less is more". You make really wise orchestration desicions, and although there are plenty of moments with fire and vigor, you know when (and how!) to be hushed and subtle. I really do hope that anyone commenting on this piece listens to the other movements. I'm almost sad that I've heard these out of order, but I'm excited for you to be done with this project so I can listen to them in the order you intend!  Well done as always Henry

      Lamentoso from String Sextet in G-flat Major, 2nd Movement

      By pateceramics · Posted

      I really like your Agitato, and the slow burn starting material before it.  I wonder if some quarter note rhythms in one of the instruments that isn't playing at that point would add structure to help the musicians stay in time well in an actual performance without taking away from the character at that point, since there is so much going on?   I thought the sneaking cello pizz. line at 7:00 worked well, and wished it had continued longer.   9:00 reminded me a bit of The Lark Ascending, with cello taking the place of violin. 🙂 Bar 199!  So nice!  A great contrast from what happens before.  If it were mine, I might extend that sound a little longer.   This is really great!  Thoughtfully put together and expressing a lot of musical ideas, but without feeling too disjointed.  Thank you for sharing!

      Lamentoso from String Sextet in G-flat Major, 2nd Movement

      By Luis Hernández · Posted

      Another great movement. What I like most is the balance between instruments and textures.... The fact that not all the instruments are always playing, but that they are in dialogue. And also the modern counterpoint in which the independence of the layers is noticeable. I like that texture between 125 and 138 (it reminds me of the beginning of Sibelius' violin concerto).
