I guess that makes me some sort of a fossil.

Fugue A minor: it's beautiful, it sounds correct (I don't care about parallels and that, it it sounds good to you, OK). What I miss here is a sort of "climax". Fuga in D minor: uff, I think the las bars are impossible to play (left hand). Fugue in C minor: it's also interesting. You know what? I love fugues, and sometimes I write one as an exercise. Buet I also try to go out from the "comfort zone". I mean, baroque fugues? we have little to add..., to what Bach and others did. Why not writing fugues in modal music, or using other scales...

I only had time to listen to the first movement, which I liked alot. I love Baroque music and this is a fiery bit of music. The melody with the trills had a really nice arc to it.

The first one has a baroque feeling (perhaps the last part with figures in 6 sound a bit "modern"). The second one sounds more classic to me. And the third one is more clearly romantic. So, I don't see the connection between all of them. I think they work very well as separated pieces. This is something I have also done, and finally I "undo". I mean, I have some pieces and I think they can fit well togheter, I rename them to become a Sonata or whatever.... But with time I understand they doesn't work together, simply because they were concevied as separated pieces. The Prelude in G minor is wonderful. I like more this style than the others. Another isuue, which is a personal choice, is that when I compose a sonata-allegro or anything like that I don't like to repeat exactly any section. I prefer to make variations always. But this is also because I tend to use others styles (with "dissonances", modality, etc...). In conclusion, if the three pieces are part of the same opus number, with no evident relation between them, it's OK. If you fell they are closely connected, it's OK, too. It¡s your choice, of course. Anyway, I enjoy them.

I can only say this is a gift... I can't comment on technical issues, you're a great composer. So I can say if I like it or not. Yes, a lot... our harmonic language is fresh. The score is a plus plus, I learn looking at it.
