Entry: Sunset Suite

Average Score:5

Review:

Score presentation: While this score is present in a clean manner, there are technical issues that are connected to idomatic writing for strings (I will address this next). First let us address the over score.

Idiomatic writing; There is a lot of ground to cover. 1) The 8va and 8sub above and below the string parts are not idiomatic writing. You would see that keyboard works. 2)rolled chords are not possible in string writing. If there is triple or quadle stop that is used marked by pizz or is rolled. Hower, the triple stop you wrote is not playable. 3) Harmonics are wonderful. They are used those notes outside the natural range of parts. When is there is divi, the voices are not clear.

Form: There is no clear with this piece. It seems to be continuous melody. It is not rather if there are sections or not.

Creativity/Originality: Yes, this is original and creative piece.

Harmony, texture, chords: The over texture is monophonic. There is no sense of harmonic motion.

Theme, melody, motive: The melody is way to repetive.

Taste: It is relaxing to hear something like something once a while. I want to see this member grow his craft. Mimalism music is hard to write. Raise to challenge!
