"Hello Geert, thank you very much for the Chopin compliment!
Probably you put your finger on a weak spot here, and thank you for that. Indeed I wanted to create some "pause in the center of the storm", which would also allow to get to some…"

Hi,this is a very minimalistic piece that I would like to share. It is quite long so you need some stamina for listening. The idea is to produce a "constellation" of single sounds and to explore…Continue

"Hello Jan, Although it is more modern, I find something rather Chopinesque in this piece, particularly in the first section. This is meant as a compliment, since I consider Chopin to be the first composer who really discoverd the essence of the…"
"Hello Gerd,
I think I needed some time to write it - perhaps 3 weeks or so, don't remember exactly. I did not perform it, it is beyond my pianistic capabilities. The performer is Nemanja Egeric.
Kind regards,
Jan"
"Hi,
I am totally in love with classical music, and I liked your sonata! It seems to have a clear texture, which is also something I really like. The voice leading is clear and and plastic. Nice piece!
Jan"
"Wow, Jan, I this is truely a whirlwind! I love it! How long did it take you to write it (and how long that you were able to play it ;-) ) ?
Gerd"
"Hello Gerd,
a song which shows your fine talent! Somehow it has a folk touch. I don't know how the song sounded before, but I think the cello comes just at the right time when the piece needs some kind of change. And it works well together with…"
"Thank you very much, Fabio!

"Hello Jan-Frederik, When clicking your link, I always get the message that the page cannot be found."

"I did not hear the whole tone scales, probably due to lack of musical training. Very nice piece indeed.
Jan"
"Hi Timothy,
I agree it is quite a challenge to listen to and nothing for each and every listener. For sure your metaphor is not wrong, as the music has some mechanical atmosphere around it.
Thank you.
Jan"
"Hi Dane,
great comment as always, thank you for the helpful reference to Andriessen and Hoketus. Yes I agree, the time difference between horn and cello is very significant. It is certainly nothing you can listen to all the time. But monotonous it…"
"Hello Nigel,
you say it yourself: "I really like the emptiness of just the piano" - I think with strings, the piece would sound very different,
most importantly, the emptiness would go away. There is probably no good or bad about this, it…"
"Dane- "If it seems monotonous to some it's probably because they aren't accustomed to the style. To me it was fine - not something I'd listen to every day but it's there if needed, as is my small Andriessen/ Nyman…"
"Stamina??
Ok, vitamin pills at the ready and Commando training 50 push-ups just to test if I was up for it! but I listened to it late last night, totally flaked out by the heat so I was (let's get dramatic about it) just a vehicle through which…"
