Dear Javier. Thanks a lot! Your music touches me very profoundly, in each piece I find something special which open to me a huge imaginary and emotional space. Will be a honnor to meet you as soon as we'll have apportunity. All my best wishes, Sincerly, Aram
Hola Javier. Gracias por tu comentario. Sí, soy compositora y ahora estoy inmersa en la composición de una ópera para el Teatro Real. Espero que estemos en contacto y me cuentes cómo te va la vida por ahí... Un afectuoso saludo
Grazie mille per l'ADD e complimenti per la tua musica.
Ho avuto il piacere di ascoltare alcune tue composizioni e le ho trovate davvero molto interessanti.
Siccome sono alla continua ricerca di nuova musica per sassofono, mi piacerebbe molto essere informato qualora tu voglia comporre nuovamente per questo strumento. Ps.: ho scaricato Alborada per sax soprano solo. Se sei daccordo mi piacerebbe inserirlo nel mio repertorio.
¡Hooola Javier!... de seguro sigues trabajando intensamente. Gracias por compartir tu obra, siempre habitación de abundante imaginación y refinada técnica. Saludos a Cándida y Sara. Francisco Cruz (Música,Teología y Antropología)
