林家興 Posted Thursday at 01:41 PM Posted Thursday at 01:41 PM I tend to try writing very small works when I find myself beset with writer's block, so it is perhaps a bit telling that this is probably the shortest piece I've written to date, and the least like the style I usually compose in. The piece is mainly based off the melody of Brahms' 'Wiegenlied'; that is, if you look at it through a wacky Scriabinesque kaleidoscope infused with altered dominant chords transposing by major/minor thirds or tritones. More broadly, what do you think of it? Was I somewhat successful at reproducing Scriabin's aesthetic (his languid side, at least)? I'm open to other feedback too 🙂 MP3 Play / pause JavaScript is required. 0:00 0:00 volume > next menu Poem > next PDF Poem Quote
Luis Hernández Posted 21 hours ago Posted 21 hours ago Hello... It's fine to write short things as ideas, but they can also be thoroughly worked out and result in something on their own. Here's what happens here. I don't value a work less or more for its length. In fact, I always prefer to dispense with exactly the same repetitions etc. This Poème has a polyrhythmic language very well embedded. Apart from making good use of the piano's latesitura in that little time. I also think it has a great sense of melody. It is very good. Quote
