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 yesterday at 09:23 AM Posted yesterday at 09:23 AM 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. 1 Quote
