Howdy Mark,

What fun! I like the idea of you adding annotations to it to show it's "evolution." That would be very instructive. I'd do that with mine, but it might only expose my ineptitude

One question I have is about the tempo changes that I see going on as the file plays. Did you graph those, or why do those happen? I've seen that type of change in scored pieces that had tempo change to give the performance some life, but you didn't indicate above (unless I missed it) that you had done much in that regard (ie, re-working anything at this point).

I'll have to give it another couple of listens to come up with some other penetrating questions

And why does the name Robert Ward seem so familiar to me? Did he perchance teach at the NC Governor's School, or at NCSU? In any event, he did indeed give you great advice

And I think this is a perfect example for this genre (contemporary classical) - go Mark!

ttfn,
Sherry
