PROF COMPOSITION SCORE COMMENTS                                    
A Elevation                                        
B The 60s Blues 7.0 Simplified 3-chord blues progression. Yet, the music has not enough live feeling and expression, especially guitar solos, that sound very flat.                                    
C Gaspains                                        
B Red Islands 8.0 Good composition with an interesting melody and harmony. The arrangement sounds a little too dry to me. Broader instrumentation in some places would make the whole music sound better and richer.                                    
A Piano Concert 1, mov 2                                        
A Altman Sonata for piano                                        
A Friday's Waltz                                        
D Alien Wars                                        
B Funk (A Brief Insanity) 7.5 Nice motif and quite a good arrangement. I liked the drums part.                                    
A Piano Concerto #6 Mov3 Op38                                        
A Accordions Duet Op42                                        
B Trio No 1                                        
D Battle of Fleetzan 2002                                        
B Horses of the Time 7.6 Interesting, well arranged composition. I was missing at least a short contrasting or stronger part in there, though. Apart of it - a good job.                                    
A Standing Man                                        
D Walk of the Grave                                        
B The Eagle and the Child 7.4 Very calm and soothing music, but a little repetitive. I liked the delayed introduction of the bass guitar. Good fragment starting at m70, but I think in m.73 after A minor, B major chord should be played with B in bass instead of E. Sounds better.                                    
B Mary Edna 8.5 Good composition with a simple, but very clear structure, typical to big band music. However, there were too many passages played by reed instruments in unison, in my opinion. Harmonizing of those parts would add even more jazzy feeling to this music, I think. I liked the fast paced walking bass. On the other hand, the piano part was much weaker, with too little expression. I guess, a better solution would be to play it in live. To create an impression of live performance only by inserting notes with a mouse is very difficult. It requires editing of each single note, its position, length and velocity. A very uphill work indeed.                                     
C Never Again                                        
A Piano Studio 3                                        
C A Strange Song                                        
C Handel's Great Drunk                                        
D Reinvent                                        
C Circa 21                                        
C Sister Ann Joins the Carnival                                        
B Hungry Heart 7.0 Not my stuff, but I liked strings in the middle part, which sounded to me as a sort of folk dance.                                    
B Pilate Shrugged 6.7 My comments to "Night On The Town" can also apply here. The drums part is better arranged, though.                                    
B I Am Myself 6.5 Sounds as if made with an automated synthesizer. Very mechanical arrangement with little live feeling.                                    
A Shadowplay Waltz                                        
C Entrance of the Scholars                                        
B The World is Round 6.5                                      
A Hallelujah Chorus                                        
C Chesh Lank                                        
A String Quartet mov 1                                        
A String Variations                                        
B My One and Only Love 7.8 Good, well arranged instrumentation and properly graduated expression. The melody is too much pretty-pretty for my taste, though.                                     
C The Enchanted Storm                                        
C Dawn                                        
D Boris and Natasha                                        
A Scherzo on Bee 10                                        
C End of the Storm                                        
A Symphony 2, mov 1                                        
A Symphony 2, mov 2                                        
A Gran Ciaccona                                        
A Concert 43, mov 1                                        
B Veliki Traven 7.0 Country music, but a little too slow and with unconvincing chord progressions, especially in the first and final part.                                     
C Astro Odyssey                                        
B The Proposition 7.7 Promising beginning, but the development went in the different direction that I expected. Further parts are too repetitive and monotonous for my taste. In some places chord progressions were not studied enough and came out as too accidental.                                    
A Fantasia                                        
B Rock on the Town 6.7 More or less the same properties as in "Myself". The composition itself is a little better, but the drums are not convincing at all. Too mechanical and without expression.                                    
B Chinatown 6.0 Sounds somehow unnatural, artificial. The arrangement is too mechanical and the simultaneous, equal parts of several instrument do not make a good impression. Some diversification and development of the accompaniment would be an improvement.
