I don' t know if that reason I mentioned is correct for me too, I'ts hard to say. :) You may have right- I love fragile, delicate style in art and want to pass something like that, so it could be my style as well.:) But I don't know how it would look if my technique was better. PS I think science is a kind of art :)

Hi all, I've finally got a more complete re-write of my "Discussions in D minor", but as was pointed out to me, the title didn't really fit the music and so I changed it to "Fantasy for Reeds and Horn" bit boring but it fits better at least. Also I thought I would make a new thread for it as the old one already had several links within it, I thought it would just be easier to make a new thread. I think I've listened to all the advice that various people gave me and made the piece better, but ultimately that's a matter of opinion and mine is obviously biased. Thanks again to all those that gave me help and advice with this piece. I've spent quite a bit of time with it now as I really do like it myself and wanted to improve it as much as I could. I hope I didn't over do it. Lastly I'm not really happy with the sound quality, but at least I hope it's not so bad as to spoil the music too much. I will post the re-scripted score later as I have to tidy it up a bit first and I was too eager to get the music out to wait 'till I had it all neat and tidy. https://www.dropbox.com/s/ve988k3i9kklk8m/Fantasy for reeds and horn.mp3?dl=0 As usual, all comments welcome good or bad.

Hi Maarten, thank you so much, I'm so glad that changes are noticeable and that they're an improvement on the original. That opening 4 note motif is meant to be a little minimalist, but I worried that it got boring quite quickly. I didn't want to over develop it though, at least until later in the piece, so I added the clarinet to give it a bit more meat lol. I'm very pleased also that you find the melodies appealing. I think I would have to say that melody is very important to me and finding a good melody is not easy (at least for me) lol. Of course I would love to have it performed, but it is written now, and so who knows, in years to come, I might find a group interested enough to perform some of my pieces, but for now, I am content that it at least exists, and what may come, may come. Thanks again for your kind words, and the good news is that now I have this thing done (more or less), I have time to start thinking about the saxophone piece for you. Kind regards Mark
