  • @AzureKingfisher Actually, this great, original movement and the Finale to the concerto that goes with it will outlive both you and your irrelevant comment.

  • Bravo, dear Daniel! Beautiful music!

  • Sounds a little bit ripped off of the Tchaik Violin concerto. Any influence?

  • Only one word: Bravissimo!!!

  • Various spots in this movement remind me of Tchaikovsky's violin concerto in D. For example, the orchestral opening and the place where the cello appears.

  • Very Very nice piece. you are indeed a master composer.

  • good music. thank you.

  • It's nice to see composers who go their own way and aren't influenced by the ridiculous pressures to be atonal or serial and tiresomely "avant garde" (the current state of "avant garde" being about 60 years out of date).

  • Agreed!

  • Good work

  • As a fellow musician, I truly enjoyed this; as a cellist, I am excited to know that there is good music still being written for my instrument in the classical tradition. Thank you for composing and sharing!!!

  • what wonderful music. if you dont mind me asking, did you use other classical/romantic pieces as a kind of strong inspiration, template, or guideline for any parts of this piece?

  • I just love your music..thanks my friend..be blessed..

  • very nice work (both the orchestration and the cello parts) it's a tough piece because of the technical elements and the lyrical, melodic parts. I like it and i would love to see more. 10x

  • after listening to it again it make think of ennio morricone's movie themes (in a good way) One can sense the tension, the flow and the story that the music tells..very nice

  • Bravo Maestro!!!

    Thank You Very Much!!!
