"Thanks HS glad you liked it. Yes its one of my longest movements and definitely runs the risk of losing listeners! Yes around 110 builds to a mid movement climax and hopefully the semitone  keychange from d# minor to e minor  just before…"

"Lovely! I felt it was a little on the long side, but then that's just my personal bias towards being more concise. :-) OTOH, though, I am utterly in awe at your mastery of lyricism and melodic lines, something I still struggle with. I did like…"

"Hi Michael , thanks for the comments. Theres a few errors in the recording that shouldnt be there... I tried giving the cello a bit more in a couple other places but I didnt really like the result.... but yes more cello melody would be good.."

"also "this""

"Hopefully you can open tis"

"Let's try again, reposting..."

"i attached a file that was wrong...can i reattch or do i start again? lol ... a bit simple here.."

"oops"

"Delightful bob."

"Very likeable piece Fred. Is this a small stand alone piece or part of something bigger to come? Great name too. Maybe do a set of these? Dimensions would be another possible name. Well done"

"Glad u liked them Stivo.  "

"Its very nice! You capture what u set out to very well I think! I like when the strings come in - the sweetly sad sounds to me sounds like a female there has captured your attention and you are infatuated, but alas you are too drunk...."
