Concertante No. 4 in E minor for Guitar and Piano

Very nice ideas here. Your guitar doesn't have as much resonance as I am used to - is there a mute on it? A score would facilitate a much more thorough review of this work.

I may be mistaken, but this feels like a mix between a Latin-styled ballad (or a dance?) and a classical style. It still has that intense "mysterious" sound of the Latin, along with the more calculating progressions of classical music...very interesting work, thanks for sharing! Again, make it a habit to upload a score: pieces get more feedback when they have one!

this is pleasant music. quite idiomatic I guess. Good idea to place the piano often higher than the guitar. The unbalance in sound is so prevented. nice.

do you know castelnuovo tedesco?

Cool piece. Something different from what is normally posted on here. I love when someone posts something in a non-typical style. I found some of the guitar part at 1:38 where it has a major sort of inflection to be a bit strange with the piano. Other than that, I really liked the piece and think you did a great job.

I am in the process of getting my registration on my copyright for the score. So once that is done I will post the score. The issue with the resonance is that it is not a live guitar but software sequenced.

But the piece was reviewed by the guitarist it was composed for and indeed is playable.

The Latin style is a little there. I am Caribbean and the musical styles of the Caribbean and Latin have the same roots and at times it will come through in my music by chance as well as by planned thinking. And yes, I know about the score. I have answered that in the reply above. :)

No, I do not know Castelnuovo Tedsco really. I think I have come across the name once. The idea of keeping the registers separate for the guitar and piano was a main thought for me as I didn't want too much issues with unbalance and I also wanted to use the idea as another way to for texture and contrast at various times. As I mentioned in my reply above, I had the guitar music reviewed by the performer it was composed for and is indeed idiomatic but with some challenges here and there.

Thank you for your comment. Where you comment on 1:38 did u mean strange as in perhaps it stuck out like a sore thumb?

I'm glad you liked the piece.
