March 2007 Competition

Yes. As long as Jeremiah doesn't mind, send all entries to me. Jeremiah and I will sort them out and help place them.

I will most likely make a wiki page on this.

You can't write a march for keyboard. Have you ever tried to carry a grand piano around a football field?

If you really wish to write a march, you can vote for it to be the next monthly competition.

That is brilliant.

Of course you can't! That's why I always use my Casio CTK-511. It's light-weight, MIDI capable, and I can strap it to me using percussion straps and bungee chords.

It could be a concert sonata-march. It has to be a free-form sonata. That is one way of doing it... I suppose.

Are there any limits as to length, or suggested length of the work?

I was wondering if I could write a sonata in ritornello form and call it a sonata, like in Bach's BWV 1029 (and of course just writing it for solo keyboard, not with gamba obliggato)... is that ok or do I need to write it in something closer to sonata form, 'cause "free-form sonata" is very... general

If i do take part I'm using ritornello form.

Sonata allegro form annoys me

As long as it is a sonata, it's ok.

No specific length. Preferably a little longer then 1.5 minutes. But if not its ok
