Concert for Violin and Orchestra No. 2 / CD owner reactions

Sample of my second composed violin concert which was published on Audio CD in 2003 ( Audio CD Violin Concert No. 2 )  Here the video of Part III...                         Pic of me at start at this video is in front (03/2025) of one of the cultural institutions                     which unfortunately rejected that I as classical composer can play piano there, even if I would                          pay them money.. worse things as discrimination and annihilation threat of this                     and other compositions here --> Annihilation                 ...

 Concert for Piano and Orchestra No. 2 First Measures - original orchestral notation:   How it sounds : https://www.dailymotion.com/video/k1iWPehDb0S9u9CCm34   Piano Concert has 5 parts and had been published on Audio CD 2003 --> https://www.allmusic.com/album/mark-klatt-klavierkonzert-nr-2-violinkonzert-nr-2-the-change-mw0001854300 *)  This in my eyes great piano concert with months of hard work within unfortunately has to deal with discrimination ( more at Annihilation ) since decades. *) The Audio CD was realized with Digital Orchestras playing the original orchestral notation above.

 Long time ago in the early 80th where Sinclair ZX 81 was the best you got as home-computer and you could only dream of software like Word to write books or great notation software to write orchestral notations I as every other classical composer was forced to write the orchestral scores with my hands on many pieces of papers or better said composition books. Here a sample of one of my first orchestral compositions written as teenager... Honest said at that time I had more "discipline" in creating orchestral scores by thinking the whole storyboard than today where you can copy, paste, delete etc.. try and fail etc. etc. Today is better and easier :-) And the best is the possibility to perform it despite lack of quality with digital orchestras - the reason I went back to composing (<> 2000) after up to 2 decades of break.
