I'm sorry, Andrea, it looks like these links are broken due to the System's malfunction :( Could you try re-uploading your pieces, or posting links to outside sources? Sorry about all this! :facepalm:

This is truth, I am a percussionist and what you have written here is more exciting that probably 75% of orchestral literature that I have performed. So it would be nice having more orchestra pieces with this type of percussion. For the composition itself, I think there are MANY differnt things in here that are great. For instance I really enjoyed when it was just the string in the second movement. The harmony and the progression in the first movement is wonderfull. I wont say too much because it's about the same as anyone else that has already said something about it, This is wonderfull for background music but is just a little too repetitive (in my opinion) for a concert ensemble.

Thanks for listening, You know what, you all may no believe this, but I wasn't even thinking in a movie in the 2nd part, like I said, the only movie aspect I wanted to follow was the very high violins in the 1st part, like the 70s movies... The only "failure" in 2nd part I admit, confess, recognize, etc... is the kinda "ritornello" at 12:00, the segment 8:38-12:00 should be larger and more developed before restarting the whole thing, I did realize of this problem from the very beginning, BUT i had no choice, like I said, this was getting too long already :(. Also, the recording influences you more that you think, I'm already tired of that EDIROL timpani, I think that fff roll completely spoils my greatest climax, I assure you, that part, in real life, with a good conductor, is powerful like God's finger.

Weca wrote "You have a very good sense of development and harmony", i completely agree !!! the night is superbe. i didnt like the war: it seems too "standard war film" and the rhythm is too simple and constantly (sorry 4 my english...) and really i dont need to hear the section about 10'.... :rolleyes: nice the difficoult ending decrescendo. everyway, a professional work !! ps i cant believe its Edirol orchestral: i use it too but sounds very different.....

I really would liked to develop more the 2nd part, but this was planed to 12 minutes and it was getting to long already, that's the only reason I retake the motif and end :ermm:... I think it has been said enough of this no ? :laugh: I do appreciate your comments, THEY DID WORK and made me learn thinks, is quite clear in my Op.31.... Thanks for listening, and for your reviews. To get rid off all this I have already started a piece that every single one of you will love, wish me luck with this project, will be much better that this. (what range you're talking about ? the super high violin is playable, the low Bb in trombone too as far as I know...)

Nice beginning, grabs me without being in my face. The piece does a great job building to a full lushness at 4:20. Great use of percussion - they keep the rhyhtm moving around 7:00, outlining things subtly. The theme at 7:30 which goes all the way down an instrument's range -- be careful there, it's a little repetitive and I worry about how big a range that is on one instrument. Way too harsh change ot the B Section. Why not have more of an effect by making the difference so much more subtle? "Where am I?" is a lot less disorienting than "How Did I get here?" The faster section is so much less intriguing to me. All the subtlety and ambiguity of the first section is gone -- replaced by bombast. I guess that's the point, but it'd be nice to see the similarity rather than the difference here. Again the chimes outline subtly -- somethign that stands out here because of the lack earlier, almost like an ABA, but its a bit too late. The piece ends without any real focus -- it just kind of winds down, with nothing to say "this is why i'm done." Your program stuff in the thread doesn't really help with that. I see you claim the theme comes back in total silence, but as we all know with serialism, just having the theme come back isn't enough to have us hear it.

I'm still waiting on the check mark for "Remember" being UNchecked by default... Not a fan of going to internet cafes and seeing my login information stored on it just because I hit enter without thinking about it after typing my password. I don't like having to clear the cache of someone else's computer. And yeah, I noticed Heckel's bug a long time ago, too. It's not the worst thing in the world, but it is quite odd. EDIT: by the way, the problem in the original post was never fixed. It was fixed for normal forum pages. But some others escaped fixing. Like profile pages are still wacky.
