The Awakening

This is a piece I wrote in 2010 for two violinist sisters and a pianist. This year I was allowed to play the piano part myself, and this is the recording of a performance we gave at a recent recital. Those of you who (rightly) upbraided me on my lack of markings in the violin parts of the Five Bagatelles - please notice I have taken your comments to heart (maybe now to an unpalatable extent...!). But any comments on markings, enharmonics and related niceties warmly welcomed.

Very well done and incredibly beautiful. What a great live performance and recording.

You should be very proud!

This is absolutely fantastic! If there's a CD I'll buy it.

Totally agree with Stirling_Radliff! I was waiting for you to post another piece, and it has definitely paid off. It's always a true pleasure listening to your works. Bravo! :D

Absolutely fantastic, one of the best things I've heard on this site in a while. The simplicity of the setup and structure is really attractive, and the meticulous little details in the voicing add a lot. And the harmonic work ... the performance ... the Romantic style, especially expressed in the beautiful arpeggios runs in the middle of the piece ... everything just comes together wonderfully. I'm positively enthralled! :D You've done a fantastic job and should be very proud of this -- there's nothing that needs improvement, as far as I'm concerned.

Thank you for sharing this with us -- this was quite a treat! :phones:

Thanks, guys, for the comments - really appreciate it!

I concur with all these comments. An amazing piece indeed. Lots of second violin melody, which is a good thing! This is a really nice work!

Thanks for posting this!
