NEVER! NIE! GOTT VERDAMMNT! Never. I have enough money to live frugally for the rest of my life, no Cadillac, and as an occasional treat will buy Savory & James Medium Amontillado Sherry, 20% Alcohol, and... I had Mouton Rothschild once. It was 1971, considered a bad vintage, and cost me $120 for the bottle in 2002 or so. It was so good I didn't care about the buzz and just sipped it slowly, but still not worth $120.

Ok. That is great! Also, if you drink cheap beer slowly, do you drink expensive wine quickly?

Just the truth! So what; some people survive gunshot wounds. I'm chill, drinking cheep beer rather slowly! I'm cool, and maybe should pack another bowl of this very nice high THC pot!

YES! Heard this by me? Recent, this past December. Quartet In A Major For Guitar And Strings-3 Free Sheet Music by Robert C. Fox for Various Instruments | Noteflight

'Danse Macabre and other pieces using augmented sevens and tritones'

Another older comment I found on noteflight.

In my opinion, Meiner Meinung, this is a very simple piece. Clear E Minor tonality, just some augmented triads; chords one should USUALLY use only sparingly, like diminished sevenths.

Okay, chill.

What; do you have a whole tone or augmented triad fetish, sir?😆

Oh yeah...I almost died from a childhood vaccination, allergic to Pertussis Vaccine, and well, I'm alive, well, and drinking beer and shootin' the s*it about music at 56, but it led to some coordination problems. They let me major in composition anyway. My best instrument is Rock electric bass.

They seem harder than the prelude!🤣

That is funny! Also do you don't play your own compositions?

I'm sure I have and would remember immediately! Chopin...You know, my own piano skills are about good enough to play the e minor prelude badly?🤣

So many people hear Prokofiev in my stuff from this time in my life! You are not the first; someone on Noteflight got "major Prokofiev vibes" from Toccata! He was for a long time a composer I respected but didn't listen to much, but something must have stuck!

I like that comment! Also did you listen to Chopin op 60 before? It is also a Barcarolle.

Those wierd parts are also kind of Prokofiev...

A rare example of program music for me. If I can find that Noteflight comment... Forgot to tell you; Barcarolle is a rare example of program music, music that tells a specific story, in my compositional output. It is like the rustic dance interrupted by a storm thing in Beethoven's Sixth Symphony in F, though in my Barcarolle, the story is that some folks with no Nautical Knowledge chartered a boat, like in Gilligan's Island, and went merrily out to sea, or out of port at least. A storm brews, and these dorks are in fear of their lives, but the storm passes, and they go back to shore and get drunk and dance, but of course they are drunk, so the dance is a bit staggered!

Great Barcarolle too. I prefer this toccata though

Nice! Some parts are wierd, but mostly very good.

Yes, it is my kind of #1 hit with my brother!

Nice! I am going to check the Barcarolle now.

Toccata, Barcarolle were from a piano suite I wrote in 1996, mainly in bars and coffeeshops!

Nice toccata! Well Written.

Yes i would like to have feedback on my composition. Particular areas of interest, how you view it's changes in motifs and melodies and your overall opinion as a piano piece!

My tribute to the current state of the world.
