Planar Walls,Vertices, and Edges of a Hexagonal Fullerene
I've been wanting to write a piano quintet in sonata allegro form usingthe Lisztian formula (one theme used describingor relaying the whole arc of the work) .Exposition with thematic material stemming from one melody just with variations as it becomes 2nd theme.Development spells the many sided nature and potentialities of this one theme and the recapitulation's final triumphant theme struggling with its negative version(probaly the theme in inversion whenI get there) and a surprising coda that harks back rememberibg my opening introduction with its ambulance referent in its closing bars. Its a far cry from the world of Elgar and Brahmsian piano quintets - this is the 21st century ,mind you.
My overiding problem is keeping interest and having compelling harmonies that are not tied down to a bar.I would rather concoct a system of rhythm that is independent of barlines. This cant sound contrived however .Honesty and meaning each note was Nadia Boulangers gift to all of her students .I'd like to think hearing that would be an excellent reminder. This is ambitious and will obviously go thru many rewrites and revisions.
StravinskyTakemitsu and Ligeti are the guys I try to learn from constantly. Imagine u have been made as small as an atom and you are taking a voyage around the surface of a fullerene. Close your eyes.

Hey ,It is so nice of u to let me hear your fabulously inventive score . You do what I would like to learn how to do .Often you have more than 3 or 4 lines (voices) speaking at the same time.I love complexity and I like making the ear have to chose which harmonies and lines to go with then the surprises come un prepared. How did you get your pizzicato sounds that I would like to be able to do since I often use this when a quiet instrument like violas or bassoon has a solo and is not easily heard plus the pizz. colo timbre hear is good. I will have to listen to your sinfonia many times I like where u quote Faure 's pavane . U write in a neo -romantic style it seems but your score looks baroque on the page. I'm all about harmony and texture so the instrument sounds hear at muse really matter a lot to me. I'm so glad to have heard your music and that you said hello. Thanks again and I will look for your score in the future!
It's easy, don`t think in voices, think in melodies or rithmic patters that superimpose each other (read about Stravinsky). I tried to sound atonal, but it sound more like decomposed Schumann :) Take liberties to do Art, art isn't only repetition, and do things like ABA form (which is like have a dinner with a woman, go dance, sex and finale [everyone to their place again]), it`s also trying something else, even it that thing sound nothing common to none or it`s is new for you. I really like Faure´s Pavane, i also uses some intervals and chords of Faure's score. For me that melody is eternal. Cheers!
