"Beautiful, as always, Saul. I love it, although it is so short. Maybe you could build in a louder outbreak as a middle part which then calmes down again ?"
"Dear Liz,
I loved your work already last year, but now even more, especially the beginning with the amazing theme and then the last 10 minutes starting at 14:15. There is an expression and transcendence which otherwise I know only from Beethoven's…"

"Dear Liz, thank you so much for your kind words on my Finale movement, yes, especially in the lyrical second theme there is a certain Schubert spirit breathing :-). Regarding the timpani Rowy and you were right, the sound got a bit muddy. So I have…"
"Excellent work, Gerd! I have only listened once so far, and I will confess that I was more taken with the main allegro than with the introduction, but I will listen again later on and pay more attention to the introduction. The timpani were…"
"oh, sorry, there was a blank in the link

For the Finale of my symphony, which I presented here some time ago, I added an old chorale melody as an introduction and developed this gradually to the outburst of joy in the beginning of the Allegro with the most jubilent theme which Beethoven…
"Here is the score: http://gerdprengel.de/mend6-4.pdf"
As you might remember I have a project to write a symphony on the basis of the fragments Mendelssohn left for a 6th symphony (mov. 1 - 2). To give this symphony an ending I orchestrated a Fugato from an posthum string quartett movement op. 81.3 from…
"wonderful - wonderful -- wonderful !! So expressive with awesome tenderness! Also the painting - wowwww!! I wish I could see the notes to study also your wonderful harmonies ..."
I am happy to present to you the 3rd movement of my string quartet, a furious Scherzo Presto in c-minor based on the sketch from Beethoven's very last sketchbook page! I have presented it here before, but now It has been performed and recorded LIVE…
"Wow, again such a lovely piece from you, Saul - rich in melody, harmony and voice leading! Also the painting is beautiful and speaks to my heart !!"
"Hi Gerd,
This is certainly my favorite among the pieces of yours I have listened to, and is a definite departure from your normal approach. It is pretty, at times very much so. There are a few places here and there where you struck a few harmonic…"

"Hi Gerd,
Thank you for sharing the score.
A clear writing, interesting harmonic usage, traditional material used innovatively.
I liked your appoggiatures at most.
Smooth flow from the beginning to the end.
'Enjoyable', a silent morning...…"

"I recorded this piece again with a new piano sound. I think it sounds much better now !"
"I love it, Saul! Wonderful!!! I adore the lightness and tenderness of the piece and the way you perform it!! You played it yourself without having a note sheet?
Gerd"
