Games of Npvo Mesto for clarinet quartet

Recommended Posts

Every now and then I enjoy venturing into the brink of avantgarde music. This piece contains quite a lot of aleatoric tonal sparkles, microtones but sometimes even major and minor chords appear in mostly dense and dissonant music world. Comments fully appreciated. Thanks!

Overall, a very interesting, novel-sounding, and original piece. It reminded me of Messiaen beginning from 8:17 (3rd movement), the language of works like "Quartet for the End of Time". I suppose that was an influence. I think you have succeeded to use the sound and medium of the clarinet quartet very well, an ensemble that was new to me. 

P.S. The title of the post needs to be changed to "Novo".

Hey. Overall, great. In the score, you might want to experiment with inconsistent time signatures to give the players a sense of what they're doing in relation to each other, but that's not necessary. Also, as an aleatoric composer, I just thought more needed to be done with this. It's certainly adventurous, but at a very safe level. Clarinets are awesome because of the partial spectrum and I just wanted it to go completely bonkers at least for one section! :)
Great writing, as always.
