Hi Kento,

 

I haven't used it for a while because I've been promoting my book America vs. America but I'm starting to get back into music slowly.

Thanks for asking.

Hey! Great stuff! I love the videos where you can see the score and hear it. That is an awesome thing to share! Thank you!

Hey, thanks i like the sound of your music too..i'm getting back to you about your question. Um by mom's Chinese and my dad is British. Some mix huh?

Hi Kento,
As usual, you have a very keen ear and you're half right about the decoration. It was not a particular reference to Bach (perhaps unconsciously?), but yes, its purpose was to align the listeners' ear to the imitation. In the following "section", when the first two voices present the same subject in melodic inversion (the third comes in with the un-inverted subject), I felt it unnecessary. By now, the listener should know what's happening, I thought. Outside of this exception, I tried to keep these pieces rather minimalist (in the general, not historical sense) and emphasize clarity over activity and effects, so there are very few decorations throughout. You've got sharp listening skills, my friend.

Hi Kento,

So far, I've just listened to the two posted here, and enjoyed both (Life and Original Piano Improv). I will listen to more throughout the week. Looks like you have quite a few on Youtube. Thanks for stopping by.

Hi there,
glad you asked. It's a greek island. =) Its northwest of Greece and east of Sicely... Its a nice place with tourism and all in summer. As for the University is the best I think in Greece on the music deps, and maybe one of the finest in Europe. You could Google up Ionian University and also visit www.ionio.gr

Hi Kento

You must have perfect pitch, because I had no idea how many Bflats are in American Songs. I'm a general impression listener in the absence of a score. My impression was an overall pentatonic feel.

Listening to your material right now, and very impressed.

Kento,,
Thank you for taking the time to listen and to make such intelligent comments. To be honest, I have no idea why that Bb is in that passage other than that it seemed to break of the impending monotony of the key.

Keep writing. You have talent.
