Sahir Haider Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 All 3 movements are quite interesting! I particularly enjoyed the 1st movement and the part of the 3rd movement that starts around 0:50. Very mysterious depictions ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luis Hernández Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 I like this style, a sort of post-impressionism and "pantonality". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tónskáld Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 The first movement sounds "fragmented" and "improvised." I didn't hear a lot of emotion in this; perhaps it would sound better on a live recording. I do question the playability of this piece. There is an awful lot of hand-crossing while sustaining other notes... it probably will sound much less smooth than the recording when played live. The second movement sounds much like the first (to me), but with a little more structure. While a delicate and architectural piece, I again question the playability, especially the crescendo from M.18 to 28. The third movement I liked quite a bit! It definitely had a 'jazz' feel to it, with the edgy chords and syncopation. This piece looks fun to play! Overall, I enjoyed the colorful chord structures of your works, although they still sound a little too random to me, as if they're being improvised on the spot. There's nothing necessarily wrong with that—it's just a personal preference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
