Don't get me wrong, it's nice. I just feel that I don't know your style. You have written in the style of Brahms, Beethoven and in the baroque, but not fully expressing yourself.

Don't get me wrong, it's nice. I just feel that I don't know <i>your</i> style. You have written in the style of Brahms, Beethoven and in the baroque, but not fully expressing yourself.

In fact, my own style and own this: switch from one style to another, to represent different moments of my musical expression.

And somehow it's my quest for musical personality

Perhaps, it will be that moment that my style will stop them on specific music styles

Thanks for your opinion

Very beautiful!

I also think its natural to write in the style of the great composers to learn from them. Much better to compose agreeable music and find your own voice naturally than to try and be different from the outset. After all that only leads to the usual atonal nonsense that relies on novelty of overly complex harmonies and rhythms for its praise but alienates the majority of its listeners.

I think your work is great because its agreeable to listen to and demonstrates an understanding of the different periods in music history. Wouldn't it be great to take the rich harmonies and counterpoint of Bach, the cleverness, dignity, and melodiousness of Mozart and then put in a sprinkle of Beethoven's passion and brilliance and create a style that spans the three best musical eras?!

Well, I have to say I do like this. Generally most baroque music tends to be a bit un-interesting. But, this has some interesting stuff. I like how you used a bit of false relations, which created some interesting harmonies. The ending, I felt, should have ended on a D major chord, for a picardy 3rd, but that's just an opinion. It just felt a little "Wait, where's the next chord?"

I like this though. Kinda a nice little piece. It'd work great with string quartet too! :)

Thanks for posting!

thanks for your reply:

the final chord, is a picardy 3rd, is tipiccaly of 17th century for example in music of Monteverdi...

The 17th stile is characterized by a harmonic instability that I like very much.

the idea is good but I think it is quite difficult to put into practice

this is a perfomance of my piece with flute,bass flute,clarinet and bass clarinet
