"This is great, Dave! Well deserved! A wonderful performance through Parma, as well. Your piece gives me a similar feeling of the V Williams Tallis theme (which I love), but it is all your own, with some interesting harmonic shifts. Kudos! "
"I enjoyed this as well. I like your harmonic movement. (I do remember this from sometime back when you had posted, so it retained a presence in my memory!)"
"A lot of fun, HS! Energetic, with some wry humor thrown in .

"For me, analysis is about being able to see structures on large and small scale. To see how they fit, or how they defy fitting. Perhaps you are already able to see this. But, reading music creates a definite picture of those structures.

"I was just questioning the voicing of the F7. Your idea would resolve the voicing dissonance - but, If the violin plays C instead , as you mention, you lose the ascent of the violin line.
Yes, I thought the F9 chord would sound sweet - though…"

"Hi Steven. I listened to the 1st mov't . I think it is very well written and enjoyable. My only quibble would be in bar 166, where I feel the clarinet (concert pitch) high F is at odds with the violin high Eb (in the context of this piece). I would…"
"Hi Ivor. I liked how this unfolded so naturally, with connecting poetic gestures gradually increasing in intensity, and then ebbing back for the close.
The orchestration I found very effective and engaging moment to moment. I like your harmonic…"

"ps... You might consider transposing a 1/2 step up to Bb - for brass arrangement. "
"It seems that you could get by w 2 trumpets, french horn, and trombone. The trombone lowest (non pedal tone is E2, and can play at least up to Bb above middle C).
If you have notes below E2, you might consider a tuba as well.
Thinking of brass in…"

"Hey HS. Bright, cherry, a lot of fun! Yes, it reminded me a bit of B's 9th, 2nd mov't. The rapid fire repeated notes a little tricky to play with the lines in the same hand, though doable. I do think this would sound great with brass ensemble!…"
Hey Guys. This one took months for it to finally settle... As always, your impressions much appreciated.Thanks for listening. https://soundcloud.com/gregoriox88/fugue-labyrinth-revised
"Yes, Janacek - (at least I was geographically close :) - Kodaly and Bartok from Hungary - and from similar time frame).
I was just meaning a folkish quality from that region - though mixed with impressionism - . You do mention Faure :)
You might…"

"Hi David. My favorites are #6 and #8 - which I quite enjoyed. They seemed a bit impressionistic mixed with a folkish quality like Kodaly or even Bartok in some spots. Stylistically I felt they were more cohesive than #7 - where I felt the romantic…"
"A lovely piece. The melodic contours have a wistful yet bouyant quality - very attractive. The oboe (so 'vocal') works so effectively with the string quartet.

"Hi David. Thanks for lending your ear! (I didn't put 'fugue' in the title purposely, but forgot the link had that word:)
I appreciate your reflections - as they confirm my intention.
Thanks for your curiosity and giving 'Dear Sophie' a whirl! …"

"Hi Ivor. (I just wrote a long reply, but it got deleted)... Thank you for offering you thoughts on this! Coincidental that you are using the Venus archetype as well! With regard to the 'formulaic' - my approach is very open or expanded. Mostly, I…"
