  1. Wow your brother must be very talented, those two concerti and Carmen Fantasy and Erlkonig and Paganini Variations are among the most virtuosic pieces in violin repertoire, in such a young age!
  2. Wow if it can be rehearsed within a month that would be a dream for me haha! Yeah a fugue as in Baroque style would be difficult to reherase esp. for a six voice fugue. Haha not at all, I feel myself not too qualified on writing fugues sometimes! Thx very much for your reply! Henry
  3. I'm wrong LoL, this one is a band score rather than an orchestral one.
  4. But you don't only have the viola part follows the piano here, you have the piano playing all 4 parts of the String Quartet which in a way writes like a piano accompaniment to a choir which is common practice there but certainly not a good one here since piano shouldn't be considered an accompaniment in a Piano Quintet. The piano part has its own right to play its own parts, rather only repeating the strings. But ofc if I'm the pianist I would be happy to play it since it would be easy to play with. I 'thing' that having cello plucked would be a nice variation to its part. Remember to hit the like button on the bottom right corner as well so that the reviewer knows that you like their posts. Thx.
  5. Thx! Yeah I do put a lot of effort in this one I have to admit, im order to speak out things I wanna speak long ago. I do hope to write something more unique as I actually never know what my style is! Thx! The philosophical thinking lingers in my mind at least 10 years I believe when I was reading the Chinese Philosophy Classics, and also guided by my Philosophy Professor who is a student of the Grandmasters of New Confucian School, Tang Chun I and Mou Zhongsan. I may not really know their philosophical thoughts, but always feel myself inspired after reading their works, just like after reading listening to a great piece of music or reading great literature. I just try to write what I feel towards Tao here, plus my own experience. I think it will be very difficult to have it recorded or even performed, so now I don’t have the plan. I know the work can be difficult to play, and it’s too long to be performed, as groups now only prefer much shorter works to perform. Henry
  6. Hi @Chemathmusician0510, I agree with @danishali903, the piano shouldn’t just repeat what the strings are playing, but instead have its own part. I wouldn’t go as far as calling the music basic since I think it does display some good chamber music part writing and counterpoint, but I may add more interaction between the instruments and allow other instruments to play the melodic role as well. The piece sounds quite Baroque for me even with those dissonance, because of the drive of the outer sections and the Trio sonata slow movement like middle section. Thx for sharing! Henry
  7. Hi @NicholasG, I like the vibe in it. Maybe one thing is that the clarinet section should be placed above the bassoons? Thx for sharing. Henry
  8. Hi @Layne! I like the beginning augmented chords. Then starts from 0:50 it starts to sound like a film trailer with those chasing rhythm underneath. I feel like the abrupt start of the chorale melody in 1:47 a bit abrupt for me, maybe add a transition between the two passages? The ending does sounds sinister again with the augmented chords and that dissonant ending. Thx for sharing! Henry
  9. Hi @danishali903! Like this arrangement! Love the English Horn very much. Yeah especially when the horns and trumpets are playing with the mute it sounds a bit off haha. Thx for sharing! Henry
  10. Am working on an Orchestral Variation on @PeterthePapercomPoser's themes. That's going to be my first orchestral piece and also first variation piece. One third of it has been finished but recently just sort oflosing the motivation a bit. I wanna write 2 serial piano pieces, and my life time goal would be to write a Choral Symphony using Chinese Poet's Du Fu's poems. Maybe I feel too tired working on many music these few months. Finishing a Piano Sonata, my dream the String Sextet which I feel so grateful to have finished, a Violin Sonata and a few piano pieces, maybe it's time for me to slow my pace down and absorb more music again. Henry
  11. Hi @luderart, The texture in these 3 Sententiae reminds me very much of the parallel organum, and I like the serious mood in it. For me the time signature of the 1st one may be marked in a compound meter so that the triplets signs can be replaced? Thx for sharing! Henry
  12. Hey Pabio! Very nice canon! This one is more rhythmic and really moves the music forward. Thx for sharing! Henry
  13. Hey Pabio! Very nice use of rests and contrary motion to prevent parallels! Since it’s all stepwise motion here, it really reminds me of Palestrina’s Ars Perfecta style. Thx for sharing! Henry
