Thankyou Kyle Regarding YOUR future compositions ?..............................The Best is yet to come.

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?

Hello everyone! I come to you with my first piece produced on my new Acer laptop that runs Musescore smoothly! I have taken the opportunity (before I always had a school chromebook so I couldn't do this) to download Cakewalk Sonar DAW which allows me to open all my old .wrk project files from back when I was using Cakewalk Home Studio over a decade ago. So, if you can't tell by the title, this is one of my juvenilia that I dug up from way back when I used to compose into the sequencer. Back from around 2008. I intended it to be a mix of styles between classical and jazz, hence the corny title 🤣. I use blues scales, extended harmony, altered chords and polychords - all in a way that is intended to be "classically jazzy". I hope you enjoy this piano trio and let me know what you think! Thanks for listening! Jazzical Piano Trio.mp3 Jazzical Piano Trio.pdf

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 😁

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

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.

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

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.

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.

Welcome back! :)

MY APOLOGIES!!! I should have been more specific. Yes, the flute run!
