The "C List"
​(The "See list")
The "Chronological List"
My own little compositional blog throughout my years of composition. Every project I have worked on has been given a number in this list (in chronological order) from my earliest compositions of 2010 to more recent works.
​
The list not only includes original music I wrote, but also transcriptions of other composer's work, educational tasks and unfinished works that were large enough to merit cataloguing.
​
Each work is accompanied by a short reminiscence - an informal narration that gives context and reflects on how and why I worked on it. Some transcriptions will have short analyses, as well as other useful insights you may find interesting.
​
The blog is largely discontinued, but will remain online in case anyone finds the analyses and transcriptions particularly useful!
