December 15, 20214 yr This is one of my recent compositions, created for the 25th artistic anniversary of well known Slovene duo ClariPiano. It is a large scale work, the description of the piece is in the video, so I will spare you from repeating myself. 🙂 I know I have not been active lately but I will certainly come back for some more reviews of your works. Cheers!
December 15, 20214 yr Author I don't know what is that score on the top of the file, it is not associated with this work... 😕
December 17, 20214 yr The textures, tonal juxtapositions are marvelous as well as the rhythmic nuances. It is a soulful work. My only question, since I am not a clarinetist but an oboist - is the use of the extreme upper register within the work. I assume it has been performed. What was the feed back from the clarinetist?
December 22, 20214 yr I listened to this twice, kind of liked it the first time, really liked it quite a lot more the second time once I fully bought into the Slovenian harmonic idiom. This recording sounds like a live human performance, and the changes that were made from the printed score (the octave changes in the clarinet part are the ones I caught) were, I think, improvements. As a badly out-of-practice clarinetist myself, I feel I'd enjoy playing it if I got back in shape to do so, but that high C at bar 130 in the first movement would scare the hell out of me. And I do wish that the material from bar 99 to 104 of the last movement had made another appearance before the end. That was cool.
January 1, 20224 yr Very skillfully played! Admittedly have yet to listen to the whole thing but in the first movement I've enjoyed the exotic harmonies and vigorous rhythms... seems fun to play!
