"Hunter,
I liked this piece. It has good coherence and character, and it made sense in my mind."

"Very Nice job! This piece caught my attention when you first posted the original version a while back. The updates and new recording really bring it to life. The repeating 16th note pattern carried by piano and the violin give the piece a…"
"I'll have to take a closer look once I get a bit more time, but at a glance (and quick listen) I really like it. I can see it working really well as an arrangement for my jazz quartet. . ."
"Hi Hunter
Polytonal work requires a fair bit of thought and work to build aural textures. Because polytonal pieces don't have the clues provided by harmonic sequences I think that you should work on providing rhythmic elements that lead the…"

"Hi Hunter,
I appreciate that you have posted in the SW forum where you are getting as I can see from the above postings some serious and good postings about instrumentation and orchestration, I hope those comments are helpful to you. Anyone who…"

"I looked at the score first of all and was very unimpressed with the orchestration - totally impractical writing for the strings and for the horn - clearly you don't know the correct registers for these instruments let alone understanding the…"
"The db lowest note is E. It is all sounded an octave lower than written. You have a D outside of its range in mm. 6. The double stop in mm 5 is impractical if not impossible. The chords from 6-9 are all awkward except the ones with an open string…"
"Sorry for making an assumption about your music after not listening to the entire piece."
"Lets keep it tactful Fred. We don't need to resort to insults to get a point across. honesty doesnt have to be rude. Keep that in mind for future post. Fredrick zinos said:

"I think you have a very narrow view of "form". Also, I listened to some of your music and I really couldn't stand it, but "I'm not trying to be mean" either. I've had interviews at some of the best schools in the United States (one interviewing…"
"Can I ask, what do you like about your pieces? I'm not trying to be mean but in all your pieces there is no form, the instruments you've chosen are NOT written in an idiomatic way, they are too short, do not go or do anything, too short, and just…"
"Hi Hunter,
Perhaps you might post a piece in the "Suggestions Wanted/Open to Revision" forum. I have done so before and have received some good suggestions from colleagues. By posting it on "Music Analysis and Critique," you are saying "here is my…"

"This forum is for constructive criticism, not trolling, Fred."
"Refer to my post from the other movement because this movement has almost identical critics. "
"Its a little hard to determine what going on, as nothing is really developed. I also don't quiet understand your harmonic language. They are not quiet chords but not quiet dissonant and its very inconsistent, thus making some notes sound almost in…"

Greetings Hunter,
I like The Wind Rises. It is sonically refreshing. Nice use of percussion also. Thanks for sharing.
Very best,
