"Hi Vallerio,
An accomplished work in itself. But I must admit I wasn't convinced about the quarter tones. I'm slightly familiar with Haba through his string quartets some of which were recordsd and published by Supraphon. I have the vinyl…"

"Score?"
"Hi Valerio - I have little experience with microtonal music so as you might expect I go from hearing 'out of tune piano' to hearing something 'different' to hearing some appealing passages and then back and forth. Without anything to refer to this…"
Hello everyone,it´s been sometime since I last posted.I usually post symphonic/chamber music in here, but this time it's going to be a piano piece: a short prelude and sonata for microtonal piano.I've always been fascinated by the possibilities of…
"Me too regretting the days when “ostinato” meant Bruckner and Mahler, not cheap Hans Zimmer impersonators.

"I would start the symphony from 2:53.
The string passages are too long for my taste, it is like saying a word for a long time, instead of communicating with phrases.
As I'm listening well into the 7th minute I have heard nothing substantial or…"

"Thank you all for the comments!
In chronological order:
Dane: Sorry for the late reply, I´m happy to read that you liked it. I thought it would work as a symphony - or its nutshell, at least - as it's structured (loosely) on sonata form. Hence the…"

"Impressive work, Valerio.
Listening at it again after leaving comment on YT.
I can hear echoes of the finest Italian orchestral tradition here.
My only complaint — a matter of personal taste indeed — is for some of the ostinato passages. I can see…"

"A nice accomplishment.
If you wish it to be called a symphony then symphony it is although it largely came across as an impressionist piece to me about wide open spaces.
Just my views. It didn't seem to vary harmonically much nor tempo wise until…"

"Hi Valerio, I'm not an expert on fugal writing but a quick look tells me you are an accomplished composer who understands the form of a fugue. And of course a fugue can be anything you want it to be. But my suggestions would be to first post your…"
"Thank you for the feedback and all the kind words, Ingo.
Concerning my microtonal and minimalistic inspirations: that is true, there is no microtonality in this work. It simply would not have been consistent with its overall mood and structure. The…"

"Hei again Dane! Thank you so much for the feedback. I´m glad that the work´s intro managed to "move on" soon enough not to be boring.

"Very impressive Valerio, your passion and commitment to the art form are obvious and your skills as well. I only listened to the first movement due to time constraints but I look forward to hearing the complete work since I enjoyed the first…"
"Hello Valerio,
Well, I listened to the 1st and 2nd movements and there's little to say other than it's accomplished, the orchestration fine, the production excellent and most pleasant to listen to. I felt the 1st movement started to drag a bit…"

"Hi Graeme
Thank you so much for listening and commenting, I'm really glad this work is being appreciated. I will upload the mp3 files later.
It's a funny coincidence that you mentioned Martinu, since I first listened to him just two days ago. I'm…"
