  3. I always like this song by him! It's used in Wong Kar Wai's In the Mood for Love. Henry
  4. This is a fun piece Peter! I love the rhythmic motifs you used, they were very catchy. Some of your piano part (m.10-13), has a bit of a gospel chord comp sound, which I love. Your treatment of the strings here is very clever and well thought out...your choice in dynamics + with the lines you wrote make this piece sound fuller than just a trio. Your pizzacato sections rise up out of the first 1-2 measures of piano (excellent use of dynamics). The timbral changes are a nice contrast to the soaring lines you start with. (I am obsessed with the Bb-Bb-A/Ab-F 🤌🏾) Another wonderful piece!! Thank you for sharing 😁
  5. The instrumental sections of "Stardust" sung by Nat King Cole. That intro is heavenly! https://youtu.be/EENrbo-Zvs8?si=p1U0fLyCjt7sd5t- The instrumental bits are so delicious, so stunning! How does anyone write something as beautiful as this just out of thin air?
  6. Very creative composition: Suggestions: Those thirds and those sixths are extremely cumbersome to play in the piano at that tempo, especially meas 23. (The measures before hand are not going to be smooth. Yeah, Liszt did it but not all the time and he was the greatest) Meas 53: You are going to have problems executing that. My $0.02

  11. Anything about the book of Matthew, I love it. Critiques. This could be..and probably should be done with traditional String Quartet. Odd instrumentations tend to not get played. String Quartets ALWAYS get played. 24-7, 365; a string quartets are playing somewhere.. The arco might not be feasible in meas. 2. You may need to take out the E5 on the "e of 4" to make that arco happen. Also, I know you want it short, but....the rule of thumb for typesetting is don't use rests whenever necessary. SO, perhaps write the cello with eighth notes instead. It's just a cleaner look and easier to read. The equivalent would be writing you reading this sentence with all this space. It can come off as real gratuitous, convoluted. and byzantine.
  12. Geistliches Lied 1 Golgotha fills with a shouting crowd: "We beg You — King of the Jews — now kneel and worship, now save Yourself." My sin, rougher than that crown of thorns, tore Him, and He gave everything — that love. He endured all mockery, all suffering, and walked the Golgotha of the cross, this Jesus. The Savior, Jesus. Jehovah-Jireh, the Lamb Jesus, the Redeeming Savior. Golgotha fills with a shouting crowd: "We beg You — King of the Jews — now kneel and worship, now save Yourself." My sin, rougher than that crown of thorns, tore Him, and He gave everything — that love. He endured all mockery, all suffering, and walked the Golgotha of the cross, this Jesus. "Father, why have You forsaken me?" My Father. Jehovah-Jireh, the Lamb Jesus, the Redeeming Savior — Jehovah-Jireh, the Lamb Jesus, the glory of resurrection — behold, Jesus. Geistliches Lied 2 The crown of thorns drove deep, piercing His brow, the whip tore His flesh until bone showed through. Let me serve You, Lord, alone, wholly, and let me live so. The nails pierced through, driven into hands and feet — that pain, the spear pierced His side, blood and water flowed, and suffocating, breathing His last, He died, my Lord. All the suffering He bore was because of my sin. I will not repeat my sin, but follow only You. By Your grace, forgive this sinner. My transgressions lashed Your back, my iniquity drove nails through Your hands and feet. In agony, Your love bled out, enduring the pain of bones wrenched from joint, looking up to heaven in prayer, and breathing His last... Lord, Your whole body broken and torn — I kneel and repent; forgive this sinner.

  14. Hey!! The soprano is too far in the back in your mix. Perhaps lower the string volume and adjust the soprano so you will have a better mix! Also, can you give us a translation also if at all possible?
  15. EVeryone has echoed my thoughts on such a wonderful piece. Just as a tidbit, look at Beethoven's Pathetique 2nd movement; he does some of the aforementioned suggestions. Beethoven sonate-no-8-pathetique-2nd-movement.pdf
  16. Congratulations on completing this work! I think it turned out much better than before. I am also happy to see the process of creating it. I look forward to enjoying your work in the future! Best, Lithl.
  17. "I've tried my best to correct all the wrong notes in the score, but I'm wondering if the problem lies with the virtual instrument or with the notes themselves. Has anyone experienced this? Will it play similarly without major differences on real acoustic instruments?"
  18. YES SIR! I would love to do that. I am honored you ask. Give me about a week or so. I'm traveling a lot this week but absolutely.
  19. Göransson is truly writing some good stuff. Giacchino is another great one too!
  20. I feel I've done my work on this score now, and am going to be moving on to new projects. However, I would greatly appreciate any further feedback that anyone has / is willing to provide for this score, or, simply just opinions or statements regarding what you felt about this piece. Thanks everyone!!!
  21. = Lithl - Ominous Glass Shards = Hi, the following are piano pieces that use only the high register. I really appreciate any feedback: critiques, thoughts, constructive advice, etc. I will reply as soon as possible. Thank you for reading and listening. Best, Lithl.

  22. You are funny my friend!! Haha I love that cure for writer's block! 😆
  23. This is what I meant, it doesn't always read as concrete as you may want it too. A lot of the material is very similar so it just all blends together.
  24. My own small piece of advice when I have writer's block that I use daily. When in doubt, FUGUE IT! 😄 hope that helps
