Lovely "Schmaltz"! Mark

This is an exquisitely beautiful work with lush harmonies, rhythms, and haunting melodic lines. The interplay between the flute and bassoon is lovely and fun! The piano accompaniment fits like a glove and carries the work forward with sensitivity and energy. This work needs to be performed. The rendering is superb what music library did you use? Mark

This was so amazing to listen to! I listened to some of your other videos from YouTube too and I love so much your style of composing. So amazing that you composed this as a challenge! The piano also sounds really great, is it one of the pianos from MusesScore? Which one is it? Thank you so much for sharing!

Thank you! I'm glad you liked the piece. Yes, I think I did that, but I can't control how fast the arpeggios are played I think. So maybe that's why it doesn't sound as natural or realistis. But I hope I can get the piece performed. With themes you mean melodies that are recognizeable? Yes, this piece lacks a memorable melody. I wanted to give texture and micro motifs a bigger role and build the whole piece with that alone. That's one of the reasons why it sounds quite different from my previous compositions. I will probably write a few more pieces like this one and create a small set. Of violin and piano miniatures.

Thank you very much! Yes, it is a nice way to start this new account. I feel the same way! The noise tone of the harmonics gives it a chill windy feeling. I agree, I will extend that dark section a bit so the return to A' feels more luminous. Thank you for the feedback man! I'll try to be more active next month and hopefully help revive this community. Yes, that piece by debussy inspired some of the sonorities of this piece. 🙂 The double glissandos with harmonics should be possible, although the bowing might be very challenging. However the glissando in direct motion that leads to a perfect 5th should be impossible and the violinist should try to simply fake it as better as they can. It's a very difficult piece for the violin anyways, so I don't know if it will be performed anytime soon. Also the piano part is very weird and many pianists would find it annoying I believe.
