"ok, so it isn't following the classical sonata form -- that answers my question, thanks.

"I found this to be one of the most interesting and adventurous of your recent piano works but it struck me as being more in the form of a fantasia. You've called it a sonata so my question is, am I simply missing the sonata form here?"
"the opening, I thought was quite impressive. You build up the attractive Brucknerian theme quite nicely initially and then the second part from around 4'15" initially looks as if it's going to build up to a powerful climax but then it just fades…"
"using sampled libraries, by definition all the notes in a score are actually playable -- the question can be whether they are playable at the speed and/or in the combination that's been written. That's of course the tricky part and requires…"
"lovely oboe sound -- looking forward to more."
"on the other other hand, although this has little to do with the intended composer, this is something of a masterpiece of poetry if nothing else.

"on the other hand, it clearly hasn't the slightest idea about Janacek even though he obviously in their database. When I asked for a potted version of the "Cunning Little Vixen" it replied with something which sounded a bit like Handel.....

"yes, the ending did remind me of Rosenkavalier -- at any rate it definitely seems quite Straussian. I've never regarded Wagner as a close cousin so won't comment there. But if this software -- supposedly programmed by some of the same team that…"
"I must echo Kris's question -- I don't understand what exactly you needed to input here yourself to give this fascinating result!
I think there is nevertheless some difference between chess and music. And I've been for a long time interested in…"

"I had a wee look at these scores yesterday and made one or two changes, mostly to no.6. In theory now, everything should be more or less playable (taking into account use of the pedal to sustain notes in one or two passages when fingers have to leap…"
"I'm interested in music, not scores. Of course to compose, I need to produce a score, otherwise I wouldn't be able to follow what I've done and it can also be helpful to see a score when listening to music from others, although it's by no means…"
"Just to be clear -- speaking purely for myself, I didn't find the accompaniment boring initially and agree entirely with David that simplicity can be very important. The question is a whether no changes over a span of five minutes works and it looks…"
"yes, that sounds like a good plan. Will be interesting to hear the whole work when it's finished.

" I've nothing against schmaltz -- nice tunes are all too rare these days and this is most attractive. It's just the accompaniment which starts to wear thin after a while - just repeated chords over and over again with virtually no rhythmic variety"
"Hi David many thanks for listening and your detailed comments. For me, the 6th is probably the least interesting of the pieces although I was reasonably satisfied with it after writing it. It seems more conventional than the others, except…"

you had given me some very valuable feedback on a earlier orchestral work, particularly noting the absence of a cohesive theme. I have since decided to break the piece up into a full length symphony and in this context, I'd appreciate your comments about how the first movement sounds.
Thanks!
