This is a very lovely work which reminds of the Poulenc Oboe Sonata The piano accompaniment is very effective. The initial theme lovely; however, a bit repetitious (even with the challenging piano movement underneath). From a technical point of view - no problem for the Oboist here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hgiP3XLKQ8&list=RD9hgiP3XLKQ8&start_radio=1

Thank you for your comment, @Grant Weep. It seems you know about Schnittke, too, I ought to give his music a listen. Regarding No. 3: It actually turned out to be a very short piece. So, rather than just uploading "Ominous Glass Shards", I decided not to post it, as I want to use it as a basis to develop it into a miniature. Also, I need to make sure I can handle the sheet music properly, though that looks like it will take quite a bit of time. Anyway, I appreciate your comment! Best, Lithl.

Hello, I also believe that no 7 is the best one. Maybe it's the first few notes...it just sort of...works for me. So maybe I like it for a different reason than Henry. This is me personally speaking as someone who is trying to get into some more modern harmonies. Perhaps no7 had a bit more "solid ground" for me to stand on harmonically. Someone recently introduced me to Schnittke...his klavierquartet. Your piece felt a bit easier to understand and listen that the Klavierquartet, lol. But yeah, I love how bare and cold it all sounds. Love the title - glass shards. What happened to no 3? =O
