As soon as I mentioned that I won't be marking the compositions if I don't get more compositions submitted you suddenly became very angry that your composition will not be graded. You seem more interested in winning than learning. A victory in a semi-competitive environment such as YC, or in any environment really, has absolutely no value if you don't learn from it. You don't only learn from losing, you learn from winning as well.

Now, if you're not interested in learning, I am not interested in writing a review for you. And it will be a pity, because I've already started writing a review which has reached 6 pages already and I haven't touched 3 of the criteria yet. So, if you think you're angry that you spent some time writing this composition hoping you'll win in this competition and you won't because the other people haven't submitted their pieces, then imagine how finding out that you are not interested in reviews will make me feel after writing that lengthy review of your piece.



That's a funny thing to hear, at least from you, since you submitted the piece only 5 hours after Morivou opened the submission thread... You did have more time, in fact you had 18 days, which is something more than two weeks and a half, to make your piece better. So can I assume that you consider your piece perfect? If so, then I will be a bit more strict in my marking. If not, then I will also be stricter because it means you neglected your composition, as you had an extra two weeks to make it better but you didn't.

Please make sure you behave yourself and don't just swear at people like that. You only make it worse for yourself and social skills is half the job in the artistic world. It's not just talent.
I think this can be said for all competitors, please understand that we are not looking for WINNERS VS. LOSERS here. We are trying to gain a better understanding of music (the judges also) and to learn. Being pompous in anyway, even not meaning to, can be detrimental to the score.

To Tomas:
I too, if I had not already reviewed the piece and sent it to you (with no response from you with so much as a thanks or even something regarding the comments) would have graded the piece lower and been much harsher on my comments. PLEASE be more careful in the future. You don't want to loose any of our respects, do you?
