User COMPOSERS? classical music composers only: would you care to post a recording of a composition?

Question

I for one would love to listen to one or more of the compositions, of users who patronize this category of classical music.

     If this is permissible under the guidelines of the program, and I am not aware of any that would prohibit it, would any of you users who are composers, like to share a recording of one of your compositions with us?

     I assume that there might be a question of copyright, if so, that might be reason not to publicly air it and would be certainly understandable.

     I for one would offer a criticism only if asked; and am confident that other users would do likewise.

     Instrumentlist, vocalist and poets have posted expamples of their artistic efforts; so I don't see why there would be any objections for you composers to do the same.

     Composers, please consider my request/invitation.

                                     Best regards,

                                           Alberich

Feel free to listen to any or all. (Mamianka, there are several flute things...)

Catherine is right you can't narrow it down to a couple,nearly all the composers produced works which could be deemed 'Epic,fast & powerful'.. Take the Appasionata or Hamerklavier piano sonatas of Beethoven as perfect examples..Yet these works also contained more reflective poetical passages as well. However If you just want pure unadulterated raw power without hardly any niceties in sight,and as you seem to suggest for full orchestra than I'd suggest: the symphonies of Gustav Mahler which are vast and epic in nature,a well known quote of his was that a 'symphony should contain the whole world', and they really do(for example,the final movements of the 6th and 9th are earth shatteringly epic) or those by Dimitri Shostakovich,many of which reflect the horrors of war,probably none more so than the first movement of his Eighth Symphony,awfully bleak but a match for Mahler for sheer power...I'm also very fond of his 10th.. You can't go wrong with either of these two composers..

I might if I could just finish the thing!  I'm having sort of a "composer's block".  Plus, I don't have some sort of chamber group and I don't know how.  Oh well. =(  I suppose I would be too shy, though.

I am no composer, but I would love to hear the work of our artists on Y!A. We take for granted the art music of today!

I would be game to do it--assuming that I can figure out how!
