Hi, for the first time I work on a choir piece, based on a most melodic Beethoven cantata fragment  - a version for choir and piano (the first 45 seconds and interlude at 1:22 - 45 by Beethoven) and a version with orchestra - what do you think? Are…

This week I did an arrangement of my Fugue in A for brass quintet, because I've always had a brass sound in mind when I first wrote it.The music has been transposed to Bb in order to better suit brass instruments, and having 5 instruments to score…

Steven Linden replied to Steven Linden's discussion Clarinet Quartet in B flat
"Thanks - I appreciate your comments!  I agree that the slow movement and the development of the first movement are the most effective sections."

David replied to Steven Linden's discussion Clarinet Quartet in B flat
"I liked this as well - particularly the opening of the slow movement which had really heartfelt melodies (more so than in many more routine Mozart or Haydn slow movements). The development of the first movement, although relatively short, was…"

"That's perfectly fine, you're the composer so you get to decide. :)  I'm more of a sucker for Beethovenian drama, and my works also reflect that to various degrees."

Steven Linden replied to Steven Linden's discussion Clarinet Quartet in B flat
"Thanks for listening, and for your comments!  I can see what you mean about it starting to sound like Average Generic Classical Theme, though I think I'm more of a fan of pre-Beethoven Classicism than you, so perhaps I'm less sensitive to that.

"Yeah, I see what you mean.  Maybe I will try it with a ninth chord."

HS Teoh replied to Steven Linden's discussion Clarinet Quartet in B flat
"Finally got enough time to listen to this in full.  My overall impression is a pleasant work firmly in the classical (pre-/early Beethoven) style. My favorite part was the 2nd movement, where there are some pretty good melodies and heartfelt…"

gregrorio j replied to Steven Linden's discussion Clarinet Quartet in B flat
"I was just questioning the voicing of the F7. Your idea would resolve the voicing dissonance  - but,  If the violin plays C instead , as you mention, you lose the ascent of the violin line.
Yes, I thought the F9 chord would sound sweet - though…"

Steven Linden replied to Steven Linden's discussion Clarinet Quartet in B flat
"Thanks for listening, and for your comments!  That chord in bar 166 is a dominant seventh, and I think making it a ninth by raising the clarinet to concert G might sound strange.  But I can see how the dissonance with the seventh in the violin might…"

gregrorio j replied to Steven Linden's discussion Clarinet Quartet in B flat
"Hi Steven. I listened to the 1st mov't . I think it is very well written and enjoyable. My only quibble would be in bar 166, where I feel the clarinet (concert pitch) high F is at odds with the violin high Eb (in the context of this piece). I would…"

  • Indeed, it has been solved. Thanks for the prompt response!
  • HS, I believe I've isolated the HTML issue mentioned, and I believe it's now resolved. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
  • Thanks HS. I'll investigate the matter.
  • Hmm, interesting. I just noticed that replies under the Discussion Forum do allow full HTML capabilities, but replies under Analysis & Critique don't. Maybe this is a section-specific setting that needs to be toggled?
  • It's been a while since somebody wrote something here. So I thought I'd bring up this request to allow links and attachments in comments, not just in posts. It would make it easier to have in-depth discussions without needing to create a new thread every time somebody wants to attach something to illustrate their ideas.
  • ok - that sounds like a good setting so will be interesting to see what the explanation (if any) is.
  • David, puzzling, because the site's settings at present bar members who aren't "friended" from sending private messages. I'll look into it.
  • As newest member Erica Woodward sent a message to at least one member wanting to urgently discuss something privately, it is to suspected that we have another spammer. If I remember correctly, on the old forum, prospective members had to submit a couple of sentences (which weren't posted publicly) explaining why they wanted to join the forum. I suspect spambots and others who are not serious about contributing would fall at this hurdle and I suggest something like this for possible consideration by the membership.
  • It seems the consensus was reaching a crescendo, so I had to dust off the Gold Codes:)
  • Anyone else having issues posting links/embeds in replies? I can't for the life of me get them to work in responding to Rowy's Halloween thread... I just get an error message each time. Seems to work ok posting a new thread?
