Thx! I didn't think much when playing as I was easily moved by Vince's music and all the details came from my mind through my hands! Henry

But I would say at least in this rendition the tempo is quite common for a Classical period work… The description “As fast as possible” is a bit silly as @Cafebabe wants to achieve, but the tempo here is only a crotchet = 168 and the taped is quite common especially for a last movement of those Classical Sonatas! Henry

LoL I am not familiar with idioms at all and thought you guys are talking about Fifty Shades of Grey! Henry

Hi @Frank Normandy! Like you I use my iPad for composing and use Google Drive for backing up the files. I used to use USB too but now I have neither computers nor notebooks so I stop using it. I add dates and versions of each recordings/versions/drafts of each piece. I actually learn this from my bitch ex-boss. First under "Composition", then genre like "Piano Music" and "Chamber music", then each work, then each movement. I put all versions and edititons under the same folder. Only publish here and on YT. Henry

I think we are discussing more on the authorship when a composer is REALLY the one who composes the work themselves. As long as the AI doesn't interfere with the composing process it should be allowed, so AI programs like Cantai or Note Performer are no problem at all. Henry

😁

Hi @Cafebabe! It's funny to listen to this with a fast tempo on a fortepiano, but I would say it's completely managable to play. I like the imitation between hands, and variations of rhythmic patterns. Thx for sharing. Henry

Yo Vince, I really love the sensitivity of the harmony in this one. I love the constant false relation of Eb and E in b.4 and subsequent bars. There's real pain in this one whether it's personal or worldwide issue, and it's painful to play as well. Thx for sharing and hopefully writing this helps. Henry

This looks quite useful and interesting! I have to admit, I don't pay special emphasis on musical engraving at all because I never consider an essential part of composing at all. Henry

I think keeping it is ok, though not necessary because only the cello and later viola would need the accidentals!

Hey Pabio, This is a very wonderful work of counterpoint! The canon is definitely very flowing which results in a very soothing timbre all the way. The only concern would only be the instrumentation when the variety of the color of the wind instruments cannot be displayed when they stay in the more or less same register throughout the whole piece. But this is a minor issue to me comparing to the great counterpoint you write! Henry

Like Mike I like the complete shift of mood, meter and rhythm in the passages. Thx for sharing! Henry

Hi @Alex Weidmann! Well I like the timbre of the variation with the long held notes. Just one question, where does the quotation come from?😅 I have performed Mozart Requiem before (as the bass two voice, the lowest in the choir lol) but I don't recall which passage it's from haha. Only after b.97 I recognize it's from the opening Introit of the Requiem haha. It's fun to listen to, thx for sharing! Henry

Hi @dhslamas! The music sounds so energetic with the distinctive baião rithm (I have never heard of it before, fogive me 😅). The color of the piece is wonderful too as you give each player their own passages for taking the melodic lead. One small thing is that maybe from 1:28 onwards when the rhythm stops the whole music stops with 2 beats and having gaps in it which I would fill in to push forward the music even more (though it's my preference only). This is a very enjoyable playing as well. Thx for sharing! Henry

Hi @PaavolaPyry! I love this minimalistic piece. It sounds really reflective and full of emotion despite using only very few materials. Maybe I won't change the key signature in the middle section but that's my personal preference. Thx for sharing! Henry
