Right then … I think it's time for some fun.

I composed and recorded this after listening to an evening of modern violin works. Some sounded quite strange, and I really couldn't work out what was going on. So, I thought i'd compose my own little hearing violin concerto LOL. Here it is : (orginally recorded on audio only – before the days of affordable home video). Enjoy!

Well, some people were taking it too seriously, so I thought, well, if they want to be serious, so be it.

So, here is a serious description of my masterpiece (with a note to the editor) LOL : 

"The music has an elegaic quality, with subtle, but repetitive motifs concordant with the most dissonant possibilities in the use of the 13-tone scale. Yes, the thirteen tone system is what is employed here, in this important work. The 13th tone is a microtone between the 5th and 7th interval, which produces an ephemeral sound, out-of-tune yet tuneful in its own inimitable way.

The forceful dynamics required in the execution of this piece [Igor, in the previous review, can we edit out the "knocking seven shades of shit out the instrument" part and put in some other phrase to convey urgent, yet delicate forcefulness - cheers] only add to its subtlety and will make it rank among the truly great modern masterpieces of its time."
