The texture, yes. But - especially in the intro, your harmonic language/voicings are simply 1-3-5-7 type voicings. The counterpoint and motion throw in some interesting passing notes, but as far as the vertical harmony goes, you tend towards simple and effective voicings of basic 7th chords. Obviously - and this is part of what appeals to me - as the piece progresses, the voicings get closer and the harmony branches out along with the rhythmic content. But, what I particularly liked about the first part in general was the simplicity of the harmony. There's a lot of energy and power in simple chords. What were you aiming at?

Hi chopin. I have a mere esthetical issue. I don't mind the new additions on the site, I do mind however where they are placed. The two huge new buttons, next to the previously modest RSSfeed place really destroy the ballanced site layout. I feel like all additions are just somewhere placed, without regard for the site layout. I think that is making it too crowded and ugly. :( Because now there are two places with buttons (the help/notification area) and the sitemap/liked/rss. And in Network mode there are two tab bars as well. and maybe even a 3rd on the left side. I think it is just getting too much places where buttons are located. I also would like to say that I do not think it is necessary to offer two location for the same functionality. The chat bar is providing the chat function. Whatever people think of that I can imagine its functionality. But I would not use that place for applications and buttons as well. Especially not when the functionality is already available. The "tips" above the shoutbox is too much text as well, adding to the cramped experience of the layout. I know what effort it took to design this whole place. So no argument from me here. But please keep the layout somewhat intact and do not make it even more crowded.

Yeah, to close the thread was silly. That's the kind of, well, stupid moderation that I'm annoyed at. On topic: derivative quotations are ok, but outright plagiarism should be prosecuted.

Bartok re-started his chronological catalog of his works twice. I don't see anything wrong with it. Just start a new numbering system. Personally, I think opus numbers are rather archaic these days but hey, whatever floats your boat.

on a side note, it's just so sad, that main three emotions (for music, and life?) are anger, sadness and happiness - basically it means that 2/3 of the music is really a dark thing. and you can get anger from sadness, and well, HTW happiness can come through all this?! this makes me sad and i'm going to write some angry music.
