Three Sententiae for Glissotar, Op. 386

This is my "Three Sententiae for Glissotar, Op. 386", a piece I composed last year. The glissotar is a newly invented instrument that is a version of the Hungarian woodwind instrument "tarogato" but with the distinction that the notes are not determined by holes as in most woodwind instruments but, as in string instruments, by pressing the fingers anywhere in the range; and glissandos are possible. I had to create a new soundfont for it in order to be able to make this mp3 version.  

I have provided a description of 'sententia' as well as of 'glissotar' on the title page of the score.  

Hi @luderart!

I am really interested in the newly invented instrument with its ability to play glissandos on a wind instrument! Hope your no.2 would be played in real life with the instrument so we know how it sounds! Thx for sharing!

There is only one thing to say. It is still the same Luderart, no development, no improved skills, nothing new in all these years. You must have a really boring life...

Welcome back Sojar! I must say that your reviews haven't changed at all too. Nothing constructive, all negative and judgemental....

Of course not. What new I could have said to your repetitive sketches?

And I believe I am not the only one, who doesn't think you are a good composer. Your youtube videos (uploaded several years ago) don't even reach 100 views.

'Good' and 'popular' are not necessarily the same. Besides, I believe that the evaluation of music is a largely subjective matter. So, people's opinions of music differ. And that is natural. What you might not like, there are others who like. You have no right to impose your opinion as objective truth as far as music is concerned.

And what makes your music so good compared to masters such as Mozart, Beethoven, Mahler, Prokofiev, Shostakovich, or so many great living composers? You must imagine that you are the best there is, the best there was and the best there ever will be...

No composer composes thinking their music is worthless! They all do so thinking that they have something valuable to say. That includes you and me. Of course I appreciate the music of all the masters that you mentioned, and also that of Bach and Handel, Haydn, Schubert, Cherubini, Brahms, Khachaturian, and many others (including living composers). But all those composers do not negate me as a composer; or comparison with them does not devalue me as a composer. They do not replace me or make me irrelevant, redundant or useless. They are not me! So however great and genius their music is, it can never fully express my mind, my thoughts and my feelings. I compose what I am inspired to compose and what I have to express inside myself. I do not have to imitate them or to devalue myself just because they were and are great! And I evolve as a composer at my own pace, even though you might not notice it, just as they did at their own pace.
