Δημοσιεύω το mail που έλαβα από Αμερική από τον καθηγητή Samuel Stokes για την επιλογή του έργου μου για πιάνο, "The Little Clown" για project του Πανεπιστημίου Northwestern State University του Λος Άντζελες με θέμα το χιούμορ στην μουσική.
Μια αναπάντεχη διάκριση που μου έδωσε μεγάλη χαρά μια και οι συμμετοχές, από ό,τι με ενημέρωσαν, ήταν πολλές με υψηλό επίπεδο και η τελική επιλογή πολύ δύσκολη. Το έργο μου αυτό είναι ένα κομμάτι για πιάνο από τα πρώτα μου έργα και την πρώτη περίοδο της εργογραφίας μου.
Το ταξίδι συνεχίζεται!

Dear
composers,
I want to
thank you all for submitting compositions to my call for humorous piano pieces.
I received numerous submissions representing many different kinds of humor. It
was very difficult to narrow them down to the final selections, but ultimately
I selected the ones that I thought were the most humorous examples of different
styles of humor. These are the
selected pieces (listed alphabetically by title):
Charley's
Rag - David Cortello
Cooking
Disaster - Frank Sartain
Howling at
the Moon Waltz - Walter Rimler
Krakowiak -
Jakub Neske
A Little
Beethoven, Anyone? - Mary Ann Joyce-Walter
The Little Clown - Kanakis Haris
Praeludium
I (alternative take in e-flat minor) - J.S. Bach, Anton Svetlichny
24
Preludios sin fuga XX - Mateo Soto
Twinkle
Twinkle Little Star for Piano - Louis Johnson
Vagabondages,
5. Paris - Louis Sauter
I want to stress how difficult the decision
was. Many very good works were not chosen for
various reasons - some because the length was a bit beyond the scope of what I
was looking for, others were very well-written pieces but perhaps the humor
didn't come across to me as well as some of the final selections (of course,
humor is subjective). If you would like
specific comments on your pieces, I would be glad to provide them at your
request.
Thank you!
