Why is Elgar’s “Mina” so gut-wrenching

Today I’ve come across Elgar, whom I’ve rarely listened to; I’ve suddenly come across a miniature piece he wrote a year before his death. It was dedicated to his dog, both having the same name: “Mina”.

Then I started to listen to it, and suddenly I felt somber and anguished. It was very simple but effective. And don’t get me wrong, I’ve listened to many works that can be considered depressing, like Mozart’s Requiem, Berg’s Violin Concerto, Tchaikovsky’s 4 and 6, and many more; I’ve even composed some, but this was very different. It wasn’t trying to be lamentful, but it was, very.

I’ve also learned that he completely quit composing after his wife died, which made everything even more depressing.

Fantasy Overture on Antigone D.16

score: https://musescore.com/user/23416646/scores/35863358

An old work of mine(2024), re-orchestrated. It’s on the play Antigone, you can see there are lots of themes and melodies re-used over and over again representing the key points in the play(kinda like leitmotifs of Wagner but not as direct).

Now, my recent works are not this Romantic but still have a similar harmonic language.

Concerto for Kanun

Here is my concerto for Kanun(Qanun), an instrument resembling Zihter very commonly used in Turkish Classical Music.

This is not a microtonal or monophonic music, it has a stable key and composed in loose sonata form.

Turkish Ninja Creami customer service is a shame. 7 DAYS in the service and did nothing about my NinjaCreami, and refused to provide a substitute product until the remedy for my product after 10 days.

I have no problem with NinjaCreami as a product; it's a wonder. However, in customer service, it has serious problems that will probably cause me to never buy ANY Ninja-related equipment again.

I bought a Ninja Creami from Amazon 2 weeks ago, which, after 2-3 usages, started to exhibit technical faults. I've sent the product in for service, and they haven't done anything about it. I demand a request. It has the warrant and everything.

P.S.

Also, in the following invoice, there exists an article that states the following:

a)
Garanti kapsamı içindeki malların arızasının on(10) iş günü içerisinde giderilememesi halinde üretici veya ithalatçı; malın tamiri tamamlanıncaya kadar, benzer özelliklere sahip başka bir malı tüketicinin kullanımına tahsis edecektir.

which translated by ClaudeAI is equivalent to:

If a defect in goods covered by the warranty cannot be remedied within ten (10) business days, the manufacturer or importer shall, until the repair of the goods is completed, allocate to the consumer's use another product with similar characteristics.

When I called customer service about it, they told me they can't do anything about it, so clearly, there is a violation of the agreement. When I asked about their probable cause for taking this action, they said that "There is nothing we can do, sorry.". I've sent this mail to Amazon and Ninja itself.
