Rhapsody for Piano and Orchestra

There was something faintly post- romantic era about yo piece (the tonality,the title and using c minor and then the triplets U must like Gorecki and Schnittke ,they are what I thought about from the first moment.Esp the Concerto for Harpsichord by Gorecki. .It was all like an maddened untrustworthy but passionate schizophrenic memory.Odd but wonderful!. Or maybe I just want to hear that in all work>I don't know , but this is what I try to do in my not totally atonal work- but also the arrangement had something of the grotesque about it.
Needless to sat the grotesque held me captivated. It was like someone telling a story by Dickens that we all knew and loved but the teller was crazy or deluded so we didn't get the story but to us listeners something else came across transparent ,new, Memorable !!!, a frightfully lovely experience all the same
The repetition and triplets unnerved me because it was like u were trying to be post-romantic Rachmaninoff and likeable( "never seek admiration or listenability just listen to your self") & contemporary at the same time. I like d the wind solos and heavy bass Left me confused.Which is the perfect way to be with art.I like work that makes me ask questions. U have written 4 rhapsodies.It is 1 a.m but i have decided to start beginning a rhapsody myself.Most of all I liked the sound you obtained on muse..It was eminently from another age.
I'm surprised I would like anything so deceptively entertaining but i did.Wanted to listen again and again which I will do after posting this! I want to find out exactly what u did to make these elements so listenable.That is a good thing in most classical music circles.I abhor it as an idea but your work was marvelous ,uncanny and intriguing as well as mystifying.
I didn't know exactly what had happened when it was over.That itself is always my goal when I make something.
Using the title as a work constantly returning to its own theme but rhapsodizing literally on it. I think Sir Harry Birtwhistle does this in his work.I think Jackson Pollock walking around a canvas changing moods is also a way of doing this.
Your piece has grand moments and the effect was like listening to music in a large cathedral.That it inspired me is a thankyou and compliment all of its own. Thank You!
