If you look at my other work, you hopefully you will find a lot of originality. This is my first (student) work in a modern style. As Ahinton suggests, I would have hoped that people find it interesting looking at where I started and how I got to where I am now. Borrowing ideas from Great composers, isn't a new or unique concept. Didn't Picasso say,
I good artist borrows and great artist steals.
This thread is purely for historical reasons and a bit a of fun if I could anyone to guess the less obvious influences!
Gauk, I have tried my best to get people to comment on the quality and the impact of the music. People like Ahinton kindly oblige but it is a never-ending battle. I don't think you have commented; what do you think of it? (Obviously taking into account it was written many years ago as a young man). I am genuinely interested in your opinion.
