"I have followed this thread with great interest. It is fascinating how such an unassuming set of notes & chords could have held so many composers in thrall all these centuries! My two favorites are the Handel and this one by the "rule-breaking…"
"This version is really hard to read, or to conduct or to say "Let's start at measure so and so". You might as well not have any bar lines nor any time signatures, which is also an option. A conductor would appreciate well thought out barlines, as…"

I think we all agreed in the original notation post that complex rhythms work best with constantly changing time signatures. Your first version is by far the best and easiest to read, although your 6/4 measures each look as if they might…"

The whole work is exquisite, Julie. I have to admit, the "Hush-a-bye" was my favorite movement. Anticipation to finally hear the theme was perfectly created. (Would it be possible to see a score for it?)…"

"Timo, I'm impressed! You stuck in and listened to the entire Messiaen piece? All 70+ minutes of it? Wow. I don't think I've ever listened to the entire thing at one sitting, and I'm a true Messiaen lover!

"Hello Timo-
When I heard your first chord, I was entranced! I thought your piece would be a glorious Messiaen-like experience. I still liked your piece even though you resolved the delicious dissonances instead of building a new world with them. …"

Hello and thanks!
At the moment I am working with "Magenta" framework to create
polyphonic tracks through deep learning software.
I am going to post something about it in the next days.
I found the site very interesting and unique; you see, I have been looking for a discussion forum about music composition for a long time and I am happy to have found such a lively one!
Greetings Julie,
I like your piano works. Thanks for sharing.
Very best,
Larry Elliott
Nice piano work indeed. I like your (complete) ideas, the twist and turns within your compositions based on the themes you set up. Such an enjoyment to listen to.
Hi julie.
Thanks for befriending me. I'm slow in this site and this is why it took so long to reply... Sorry for being late...
Hi Julie:
I really enjoyed listening to all the pieces you uploaded. Beautifully written, beautifully played.
Welcome Julie, OK. I'm a fan. Your performance on these pieces sounds improvised but you must have scored these, right? So if you scored them, your flow is superb. If you performed these improv, your precision is doubly superb. Either way, I was very appreciative of the relationship you have with the piano. Effortless, joyful energy. It was a pleasure listening to them. Thank you.
