"unfortunately I can't be of much help. Although I enjoy this music and it was interesting getting to know it, it doesn't sound Mahlerian (far more Beethovenian as others have said) and I can understand why no-one else has bothered to try and revive…"
"I need your help! A Korean Conducter wants to perform this Mahler Scherzo based on my completion, but he did a "revision" of it with the result, that I hardly recognise my work ! Would you please give me your assessment of both versions…"
"OK - that might explain why I didn't recognise them. It's a while since I heard anything composed with Notion.

"The musical samples I use came with the notation software: Notion 6.

"thanks for the offer but perhaps I'll just focus on listening again once or twice when things should become clearer. Which library(ies) do you use out of interest.

"Hi David
I'm glad you enjoyed the piece! Yes, this was definitely written in a light-hearted frame of mind. It was a fun experiment for me. I'm glad the underlying sense of fun is conveyed to the listener as well. Thanks for your comment.

"there's an infectious sense of fun which comes across very well I think here and the instrumentation sounds highly individual. My main issue is probably with the rendering which seems rather synthetic and perhaps lacking in the contrasts needed to…"
"I feel the same. It's always the individual composers who stand out over and above the era they lived in and the style they used. I find Baroque in general to be cerebral, predictable and empty, but Bach often uses it in a way that's so…"
"that's very kind of you, Guy -- this little piece seems to greatly split opinion. In my somewhat expressionistic mode, it's possible you might like something like the 2nd "Easter" string quintet if you like the Lament although there's nothing really…"
"David, I've listened to this quite a lot now (I downloaded it as I liked it so much)) and I really find it the most interesting and satisfying music I've heard from you. I think of it as a work of genius. You should take the time to listen to it…"
Hi Folks. It has been a while since I posted, but I thought some of you might enjoy listening to a new piece of mine based on the letters of my name, it being a musical cryptogram. Of course, this is a continuation of an old tradition, one of the…
"I actually don't enjoy listening to Baroque music very much, in spite of my reputation around here of being a fugologist. The only Baroque music I really like are some of Bach's fugues from WTC I & II. I actually prefer Beethovenian-style music…"
"I almost never listen to Baroque music -- I like music to be emotionally direct and to the point without decoration and Baroque is the antithesis of that. Some of it I enjoy singing (such as Dixit Dominus or Zelenka's Missa Votiva), usually because…"
"Hi David,
That is a nicely thought-out reply.
From my research, most people of the Baroque period never heard the music that we know as Baroque music. There was certainly folk and pop music of the time, and it wasn't the highly ornamented stuff we…"

"A good read, thanks Rob. It did get me thinking;
To me, the article almost presents a bit of a false dilemma; either Baroque music reflects the brutal reality of its time, or it’s a deceptive fantasy. But I don't know it works that way. Music of…"

Hi All,I was thinking about why I like Baroque music; this was the result.https://robjkennedy.substack.com/p/why-do-i-like-baroque-musicBest,...
