September 3, 20196 yr https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJOmQn3zXzI This is one of my most recent works for violin and piano. Every now and then I enjoy putting myself into the world of (neo)classical forms and I try to compose something fresh within this quite strict approach. I hope you will find this composition interesting and I encourage you to write some reviews. Thank you!
September 15, 20196 yr I always enjoy your pieces, Sojar. They always sound masterful and complete in that I wouldn't add anything or take anything away. When you say fresh I might think "something not done before" or " something good that really works." I put this in the latter. Is that why you say that this idiom is strict? It seems to me that anything not de-constructive is difficult to sound fresh.

It seems to me that anything not de-constructive is difficult to sound fresh. I probably cannot express it properly but I believe the use of traditional forms is recently quite "strict" in terms of following 18th or 19th century sonata form (more likely 18th century since my sonatas don't last 30 minutes or more). The musical language itself of course does not follow 18th century tonality relations between different subjects but it is used freshly, with all available sources. 🙂
