"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…"

"Congratulations, Dave- It's a beautiful piece and deserves to be heard. I'm on the East Coast, so it's quite a distance from me, but I'm thrilled for your success and to see it. "
"David, if you read between the lines of Rowy’s comment (And most of that post, for the matter), “I’m mainly here for the entertainment. A funny anecdote would be nice,” it becomes clear that she views herself as being on a higher level than others…"
"Well, you did want discussion, did you not? I'm sorry this spat is hijacking your thread, David, but perhaps we should rip the band-aid off. Let's face it—when prospective forum members read ridiculously condescending crap like this,

"Thank you for only further proving my point. I think you're a very lonely, frustrated person—you can argue that all you want or make up whatever cute story you like, but this alone has convinced me for a lifetime that anything you write only serves…"
"Nope, not at all. I'm aware of her website and some material. "
"Interesting post. Here’s some perspective, and one of the reasons I really don’t have much desire to participate in this particular forum much anymore;

"Thanks, David!
Oh yes, I've looked through many of the other entries, commenting on any that particularly stood out to me. One can't help but be curious about the competition while also discovering how others approached the same source material with…"

"Sorry, David—I seem to have missed your comment as it came in while I was responding to Dave Dexter. I appreciate you taking the time to listen and share your feedback.

"I listened to the trumpet concerto—it’s quite episodic and indeed deeply original. It doesn’t strike me as atonal, though my ears are not yet developed enough to fully perceive the tonal center or harmonic relationships you’ve described in your…"
"Hey Dave, thanks for taking the time to check this out and share your thoughts. You bring up a point I struggle with in competitions- the challenge of interpreting emotional beats without a director. In the (few) scoring gigs I’ve done, there’s…"
After reading Dave Dexter’s latest comments in the other thread, I realized I haven’t shared much of my work lately.The main reason is that I’ve been in a period of intense study and haven’t written much beyond a few 'academic exercises.' I did…
"Criticism is arguably the most significant driving force in my personal development. I am perpetually in the process of cataloging the reservations and critiques others express about my work. With these observations, when valid, (and doing my due…"
"Dave- If you're on Facebook, I highly recommend you join the group "Music Engraving Tips." It's going 59,000 members strong and people enjoy arguing over obsessive details such as this on a daily basis, many of them professional engravers. It's…"

you had given me some very valuable feedback on a earlier orchestral work, particularly noting the absence of a cohesive theme. I have since decided to break the piece up into a full length symphony and in this context, I'd appreciate your comments about how the first movement sounds.
