  1. Alex, I enjoyed the interesting harmonies; however, I felt the structure of the work to be a bit loose. I had difficulty following a coherent theme and I felt the work didn't have an arch to it to carry me through from the beginning to the end. Mark
  2. Yes, there is software that can take a audio melody and create music notation. I am very curious about the "System" you are using .... is it a special software/hardware program. Because your posted score seems highly unusual. Mark
  3. Lovely sentimental work. I loved the bassoon solo in the beginning! Mark
  4. With respect to tempo/breathing etc. - the oboe part is NOT well thought out at all. You really need to learn about the strengths and limitations of instruments and players; whether you write for woodwinds, brass, strings or percussion. Best to talk to players and show them the score and learn from them. <ark
  5. I’m curious about what kind of music you were listening to when you composed this.
  6. The rhythmic elements reminds of Darius Milhaud. Quite enjoyable. Mark
  7. Thank you for taking the time to listen to my work. Well, it's beyond me why I called it a Trio. I must have had another work in mind when I posted. As for the sparse piano accompaniment is to create a specific mood/feeling. I understand the slurs are not bowing marks .... placed there for interpretive intent only ... will it confuse the violinist? You provided some motivation to do more with the piece ... maybe I'll work on it. I'll see if my muse speaks to me! 🤔 Mark
  8. Stylistically the composition reminds of the soft folk rock of the late 1960's. A very pleasant work. Mark
  9. The sound tracks seem to be attached to a specific period ... television shows/movies from the late 1960's and 1970's. In both works the musical themes seem too familiar and a bit unoriginal. Are these piece mixes of other period works? Why not post the scores? Mark
  10. Please post link to the original work (for comparison). Be aware - the Oboe and Bassoon need to breathe! As for the thematic material ... I don't get it 🤔. Please explain your intent. Mark
  11. Charming ... a pleasure to hear. I love the dialogue among the instruments. The rhythms are captivating and the major theme quite inviting! Mark
