Man, is this world -small-! I do a search for "faure 'piano quartet' analysis" on Google and find someone talking about a Piano Quartet in c whose second movement was published in March. I think to myself, "wait, didn't I record a first movement in, like, February?"
I follow the link, and lo and behold, it's you, Andrew, it's you!
Second movement, eh? Do you have a pdf of the score? Or maybe I should just get Sibelius, but I don't know where. Meanwhile, I shall have to satisfy myself with the midi.
Check the midi - maybe it's just me, but the file I got seemed corrupted. Just listen to the track - some distance in, there's a large and persistent bass dissonance (sounds like piano tremolo?). I don't think you put it there: you may want to try to repost the midi. And in the case you -did- actually mean it, the midi certainly doesn't do it justice. In any case, I haven't seen the score, so I really don't know.
From what I can make out over the noise my computer is giving me, though, I can still recognize a lot of what comes through from the first movement. Impressively done: it works rather well. I'm sure the second movement's structure would be much more intelligible with real dynamics and timbres instead of a midi. The organization reminds me of late Schubert, although the most daring and definitely non-Schubert thing to me is that you start in c and end in f. I still don't quite understand it, which is why I'm going to wait until I see the score before I nitpick.
Since I know the old idea for the fourth movement, I'm really interested in hearing the Scherzo. I'm also interested in why you're rewriting the finale.
Hope to hear from you,
