Ottevanger's Omphaloskeptic Outpost

[Maciek]

the cello at the end of the first movement of the Piano Trio also does this, slowly climbing up the C string in a manner reminiscent of the way it climbs the G string in Ligeti's Second Quartet!

Nice bit of postmodern thinking.

Query in another thread (as possibly of general interest).

And, Luke! . . . what is the State of the Orchestral Piece Project?

[lukeottevanger]

I must be honest - I haven't looked at it in the last week or two. But that's because a) it's so close to completion that I've relaxed a shade too early and b) I know I will have an opportunity to get it done this Sunday. That's the plan, at any rate.

[karlhenning]

Very good.

Fingers crossed. Touch wood. God willing... All the same - good news!

Why's it postmodern?

[Maciek]

Reversed chronology.

Hmmm.....not as much time as I thought to work on E+A today, but here's something like a possible completion. I think. This is extremely hot off the press, so don't expect it to stay like this. Also, because I haven't worked on it for a while, I'm not really in the swing of it today - I composed because I had been preparing to do so today, not because I had an urge to. There wasn't much imagination required today, however - the pieces was basically finished in my head weeks ago.

No midi mock-up for this, and I don't think I'll be able to do one - those last pages would be tricky!

And now, Joe, I may have the time and mental capacity to reply to your PM!

Huzzah!  Will gladly take a look at this, Luke.

[J.Z. Herrenberg]

Huzzah!

Indeed. Excellent news, Luke!

[lukeottevanger]

Blimey - I can see some pretty blatant things missing already (like the trumpet part on the last page!  )! Might need to give me an hour or two to check it through. Still, the score I've posted gives a pretty good idea of what the whole will look like.

I await with baited breath.

[Guido]

Wot, no scoar?

[lukeottevanger]

It was there, and then it went. But it will be back soon, complete with the minor changes I noticed were needed as soon as I'd posted it.

I'm glad I have a collector's item, then... 

[karlhenning]

Well, you know, when a chap can prevent the proliferation of error in his own work, why not?

[lukeottevanger]

It's a regretable trait of mine, to post things here on the spur of the moment, and then to realise...ooops! Post in haste, repent at leisure.

[karlhenning]

Not a bit of it, Luke;  we're always chit-chatting about works in various stages of not-finished.
