In my piano concerto I developed this polyphony to much higher complexity.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
All modern MIDI synthesizers are capable of polyphony, which means they can play more than one note at a time and more than one instrument at a time.
It's like a whole orchestra, the piano for me.
My symphonies would have reached Opus 100 if I had but written them down... Sometimes I am so full of music, and so overflowing with melody, that I find it simply impossible to write down anything.
I'm not interested in having an orchestra sound like itself. I want it to sound like the composer.
Do you know that my very first experience as a composer was a 'Concerto for Accordion?'
Doing the instrumental thing, you're really looking for the power of the melody to carry the record.
I had a big background in listening to classical music and I started trying to compose, like I was playing the guitar but I heard an orchestra in my head.
I believe so deeply in the primacy of language, in lifting your prose to the highest level you're capable of and making your words symphonic.
My music is more native than intricate or technical.
The guitar is a small orchestra. It is polyphonic. Every string is a different color, a different voice.
