"Woodwind Quartet Number Two"

Regards,

If I may be entirely honest .....

the first one isn't to my taste but I really like the second one

In that case, one out of two ain't bad.

Thanks for listening, Miss Dawn.

Regards,

You have a really fascinating website - You are one creative guy!!!

I can't open the first one, but the second one is quite good.

I've also had a quick listen to a couple of your other tunes on your website, theres some really nice music on there!

Aw shucks, Ma'am. I'm just li'l ol' me.

Thanks for visiting my website Miss Dawn.

Regards,





I don't know what the problem could be. Both compositions are in the same mp3 format and are set up on my website identically. (?)

Thanks for listening to the second one and for visiting my music website.

It may be worth saying that B major is one of the hardest keys for any wind instrument to play in - Ob/Fl/Bsn (B) Cl (C#) Hn (F#) - Have you had it played? If not it may not sound as fluid as the synthesised version unless you have very good players

Yes, I'm aware of the difficulty of the key. It's pretty hard for brass instruments also. I originally wrote it in Bb but it sounded "uncrisp" so I transposed it up a half-step. When I then transposed it again to C, it sounded rather "tinny", so...

Regards,

I rather liked Quartet No.2 it flows along very nicely and kept my attention..

The B maj one I felt was a bit relentless inasmuch that it never really seemed to let up, lord know where anyone was going to be able to breathe and as mentioned earlier a nasty key for woodwind especially Oboe, you would need to be a very competent player to really do this quartet Justice..

overall though, very nice works, well constructed. Good melodies and clever rhetoric used in both..I thoroughly enjoyed them..

Andrew

Many thanks, Mister Andrew from the U.K., for your kind words. I appreciate your taking the time to listen and comment.

Regards from across the big pond.

hiya,

i really enjoyed the second one too very nice but the first i found a bit like the different instrument were competing against eachother rater than working together i found it quite hard to listen to, but the second i really liked and i played a few repeats.
congratulations on some wonderful composititions and for thanks shareing them with us

Thanks for your nice comments, "Miss Netty". You are one of many great folks on these collective forums. Thanks to everyone for allowing an American to intrude. I'm glad that I found all of y'all. (Wait a minute! "Y'all" isn't the Queen's English!)

Regards,

lol , i think the only one that speaks the queens english in my part of the country is the queen lol

yup this is a great forum, the best that i have found for music and i hope you have loads of fun here, i will look out for more of your compositions, i visited your web and really liked clarinets study$232 so much so i would love to play it but i think it is too advanced for me i am only a beginner one more for the one day pile

Who needs to breathe?!

I enjoyed both your compositions, Larry, and especially the one you posted for the horn workout.

Thank you for sharing them with us. I am in awe of your talent!

I'm with you there, Misterioso-I wish I could write anything half as good as Larry's pieces!

Thanks very much for paying a visit to my humble music website, Miss Nettie.

Regards,






It is pleasing to know that you liked my works. Thank you.

Regards,
