엄대호의 [거제도 모음곡 중 제 2번 곡 "와현의 노래"]

<작품평론> 협화와 불협화의 음향학적 현상을 통해 클라리넷과 피아노의 조합이 구체적 연상을 주며, 기본 박에 대항하는 박절 감이 융해된 사운드다. 특히 음정들의 선호는 일정한 질서 없이 '자연의 일원성'과 '인간 심리'에 중점을 두며, 전형적으로 음악적 무드가 강한 곡이라 평가된다.

- 정순영 (음악평론가)

 

Dae-Ho Eom's [Geojedo Suite No.2 "Song of Waheon"] <Work Criticism>

                                                                                  

                                                                                             - Soon-Young Jung (Music Critic)

 

Through the acoustic phenomena of consonance and dissonance, the combination of clarinet and piano gives a concrete association, and it is a sound in which rubato against the basic beat is arranged. In particular, the selection of intervals focuses on 'unity in nature' and 'human psychology' without a certain order, and it is typically evaluated as a song with a strong musical mood.
