Re: The symphonic poem »Cantabile« [mp3 download]

Thank you very much for your great comments acciaccatura and Gareth. I appreciate them a lot!

it is unclear to me if this style is part of a post-modern movement or simply a reaction to music that is so difficult to listen to. You write for anyone rather than the select few who can appreciate serialism and heavy use of dissonance - perhaps yours is a logical conclusion to the situation creative arts are in today. Your work does not, however, sound archaic by any means, and that is quite an achievement.
I have troubles putting an exact definition on most of my music myself. During the process of composition I rarely consider the style or tonality but concentrate on the musical expression, mostly free from any exterior stylistic bounds. I do not try to please any likes other than my own. So I'm really glad that you think that I succeed in making it sound "natural" and logical. It means a lot to me as that is of course one of the potential pitfalls when not working within a more defined style or genre.
