November 25, 200817 yr What I really like about this piece is the rhythmic interest in it (I especially like the second line of the score, the three phrases separated by a quaver rest, a semi-quaver rest and another semi-quaver rest); I really felt you had explored the original rhythmic ideas intriguingly by the end. I wonder though how accurately these ideas could be portrayed in all but the most perfect of performances, and also if there was a small section of longer notes I would think the piece would suddenly feel much more balanced. Overall, the piece's melodic catches keep you hooked in and the harmonic ideas are also lovely in a mercurial sort of way. I'd love to hear this live to get the full effect of the directions you have in the score (which I think is beautiful btw). This is one really interesting, likeable piece and I'm looking forward to hearing the others. :)
November 28, 200817 yr A very amusing and enjoyable piece! It has an unusual jerky rhythm that really catches one's interest. The rapid runs do blur into broken chords so that even on this single-note instrument there is a "shadow" of harmony. Very well done. :thumbsup:
