Hello guys! Here's a piece i've been working on. In this piece, as you surely will realize, my main concern is rhythm. It also has some kind of folkloric sonorities, so the piece in general doesn't…Continue

Still, I apologize for the mistake. :-)"

I didn't understand the last part of your coment. Did you mean it sounds like steel strings? Because i use nylon strings.
I didn't write the piece, but if i…"

Socrates Arvanitakis replied to Jaime Chirif Watanabe's discussion Short piece for guitar"Although developed on a single motivic idea (at least two thirds of it, I thought), I found it quite imaginative/inventive and very idiomatic for the instrument. Monophonic for the most part, the chordal playing is well placed and comes as natural…"
Dani S replied to Jaime Chirif Watanabe's discussion Short piece for guitar"It is a very nice piece, and different from your other compositions that I listened to, it shows your versatility. Though simple, it kept my attention until the end.
You have a very nice sound playing the guitar."

Jaime Chirif Watanabe replied to Jaime Chirif Watanabe's discussion The old Siorakidsok (for quintet)"Thank you for the feedback, DriscollMusick.
I know what you mean about the difficulty of the voice part, but i am lucky enough to be playing with a great friend and singer who is quite comfortable with the piece. I mean, she knows how to…"
Jaime Chirif Watanabe replied to Jaime Chirif Watanabe's discussion The old Siorakidsok (for quintet)"Thank you so much, Rob! I really aprecciate it. I'm hoping to play this piece next year. Maybe in January. I'll try to record it!"
Jaime Chirif Watanabe replied to Tyler Hughes's discussion Sonata No. 1"I like this. It reminds me a lot of Ligeti's piano music. It has that kind of movement in the inner voices between the low keys and the melody, which is nice. It also has that kind of harmonic density also found in Bartok.
The score seems fine…"
DriscollMusick replied to Jaime Chirif Watanabe's discussion The old Siorakidsok (for quintet)"Although there is not a lot of harmonic motion here, the rhythmic variety keeps it fresh. I enjoyed listening.
It's unclear to me, though, what sort of sound you are seeking in the vocal line, as performed by real singers? Are you…"
Rob Kennedy replied to Jaime Chirif Watanabe's discussion The old Siorakidsok (for quintet)"Hi Jamie,I found this a highly inventive and interesting piece. Very well done. You've made this a progressive work which entertains all the way through. I can just hear it being played live."
Jaime Chirif Watanabe replied to Erwin van Delft's discussion War Symphony, first movement (Uneasy Peace)"Hello Erwin.
In this piece there are a lot of good ideas, so that's good.
For me the begining feels too metronomic. I think it is more interesting to play with the idea of a rhythmic feel that is not necessarily present, or not present all…"
