I think we are talking past each other. The question is, is it possible to make out of 2-3 of those tiny little pieces one entry? They are all part of one opus, consisting of 9 puzzles, titled "Insectarium".The total length of that composition is about 12 min.

^ Oh... Not sure... But wouldn't it be weird, kind of? I'd say the entire thing or a single part of it would seem normal.

Well, in order to hear what the idea of that composition is about 2-3 of those little pieces would be sufficient (duration between 0:40 - 1:45 each). Each of them representing one insect species. 12 min seems however a bit lengthy. I don't know whether or not a video including the whole composition is even available and in good quality. But it's not my entry. It's up to you guys.

I'm totally good with just picking one of the insects. In a poll where usually few entries are shorter than 4-5 minutes, an ultra-short piece would clearly stand out just because of that, besides, anyone who wishes to listen to the entire work can always do so.

A compromise would be the video that I posted on the previous page. The piece is split in two parts/videos. It's a live performance, though.

I think I will stand by the Housefly as my nomination. It is true that showing a handful of the "piano insects" instead of just one might give a better picture of what the work as a whole is about. But then I have already done that since I shared four of them in my first post.

Page Three, first takes:

Cristi:  · François Chaplin Nocturne in C Minor, Op. 48 No. 1: "A Mademoiselle Laure Duperré" Beautiful solo piece.  Begins somberly, but becomes more decorated, and then, a bit dramatic.  I can’t help but wonder about the subject.  Was she a tempestuous child, or a woman?  Young, certainly, as “mademoiselle,” would indicate.  Piece flows back into a more emotive portion, perhaps the storm has been averted?  Then all becomes, although still complicated, much more graceful again, to the end.  Lovely. 

Tapfret:  Dokaka Cover of “Fracture” A piece I am very familiar with from KC.  Here it is taken on purely vocally and quite well, although a bit higher pitched (at least the underlying repeating part).  When it breaks into the ascending chords part (as I think of it), the pitch seems lower to me, but unmistakenly the piece of music.  Very ambitious, although I do prefer the original, it’s very cleverly done.  Dokaka Cover of “Sir Duke,” This Stevie Wonder song I remember as well, this is closer in pitch to my ear. Dokaka Cover of Metallica’s “Creeping Death” This one is also well done, certainly recognizably the song and not quite so high in pitch, although there is kind of an Alvin and the Chipmunks feel to these.  I like KC the best, not only because I love the original, but since it was no doubt quite the challenge.

I didn't even pay attention to the pianist's name. EmbarrassedLOL it's a Chopin nocturne. I didn't know this nocturne had an alternative name ("A Mademoiselle Laure Duperré"). I had Chopin on vinyl and I have the nocturnes on CD, never seen that title. You'll have to read about the life of Chopin if you want to know more, I guess.

Lots of musicians did sponsored works (as well as painters, of course), and of course, they also did works for people they knew, in one way or another, that they were more naturally inspired by.  Many of O'Carolan's harp pieces were sponsored, for instance.

When they are so titled, I always wonder about the people, I'll see if I can find out anything about her, only had a chance for a cursory search so far today.  Similarly, when I have an old book that is inscribed to someone I didn't know, I am curious about both the gifter and the giftee.

  Apparently, she was one of his pupils.  Some more info:  The F sharp minor Nocturne is melancholic but not totally without hope. The flowing outer sections are contrasted by a recitative-like section in which the composer wanted the first two chords to sound like an order from a tyrant, and the answer begging for mercy. The most expressive part of this piece is the final page where the same descending chromatic line appears twice, harmonized differently. The set is dedicated to Mlle Laure Duperré, a student of Chopin. Link to source:  https://www.hyperion-records.co.uk/dw.asp?dc=W3376_GBAJY9034206

I introduced your housefly to my mum and she liked it a lot. She's our family's no.1 fly catcher, though. So I'm not quite sure about her motives . . LOL

@Özgür
I'm not quite sure about the interpretation of the poll rules. Nowadays many artists use f.e. loop machines, distortion pedals and sound effects, and in particular solo artists. Where are the limits with regard to the use of electronic tools?

Here's one example (electric cello):

And this one is a multi-instrumentalist. She plays all the instruments herself but not simultanously.

Mila's mention of loops and effects reminded me of this vocal performance by an artist who I have nominated before, so not in this competition.

Actually, Mila, your suggestions here sound OK. The only "core" criterion is the "single musician" thing. But, I would prefer a single musician that performs music in a single take, like guitars + vocals. There are musicians that can play dozens of instruments, and can make studio albums where they play them separately and record it. It fits the criteria here, but I'd rather it be like a work that "sounds" like it is coming from a single musician. Again, yours are fine. You can nominate any of them. I'm thinking of allowing electronic music.

I nominate Barre Phillips (I updated my first post accordingly, as you wished).
Haven't had the time yet to listen to anything and I'm afraid I won't get to that before next weekend... But, there are a couple of suggestion put up that I already know.

Thank you man! I haven't listened to any except for Anders' great stuff. But I'll listen to all of them in a couple of days, and probably more than once to decide.
