I'm not going to go against you Henry, for some of my old pieces (some of my favourite ones) I no longer have the scores for some of them, the pieces that I would like the most to have with scores, I don't know if there is any solution for this but anyway, so where do I ask for that if want some my pieces to have a clear and actual score (because I don't like so much some of them but I would like to for some specific ones)

Well, if you want to have others playing your pieces then a score is definitely necessary. Even if it's just for your self enjoyment, a better scoring and engraving will help clarify your own thoughts towards your piece and will definite affect your final result of writing! Henry

I'm not actually that interested for it, I have the result of it, if anyone is interested to make an actual arrangement of my pieces they can let me know so I will do it for the piece they want to. What about you, what's your honest,opinion for my music?

Ask.

That's great, how?

As the clock strikes twelve on All Hallows’ Eve, a spectral symphony unfurls. The music begins with a whisper—creaking doors, rustling leaves, distant howls—then erupts into a cacophony of gleeful chaos as ghouls, goblins, and shadowy tricksters flood the night. Twisted melodies dance and clash, conjuring a world teetering on the edge of darkness. Just as the forces of mischief seem poised to claim dominion, a ray of light breaks through the gloom—pure, radiant, defiant. The dawn breaks. The music transforms: birds sing and jubilant chords celebrate the triumph of light over shadow. The world exhales, bathed in warmth and renewal, as the final notes ring with hope.

Everyone on here, who has experience, can help you with creating a score. 🙂

You will not be satisfied with my score and there's a reason I don't post it, take this oneMY_MUSIC_224_20251028_005832.pdf

And that's a wrapped: I have finished my scoring for this contest. Thank you everyone for your entries. 🙂

Entry: Bagatelle Nº6 @MK_Piano has mentioned wider margins around the score would give the score a polish look. Only a half point taken away, in score presentation for that. In the violin part, you want provide the player time from pizz to arco and vice versa. They will thank you for this! In the opening section, where the piano descends, it might sound to muggy with the sustain being held down that long. Also, it is probably wise to pedal down beat in 3/4. (just a thought). Thus, this will be score an 8. The execution of the challenge was meet it was within the time frame. It was scored for the correct ensemble. 10 The piece was original and creative. 10 The textures of the pieces were homophonic but yet there was polyphonic textures: everything came to together. 10 Overall the piece has melodic and motivic material and form that flows naturally and logically: 10 Average score: 9.6 very good Melodies Themes Motives Harmony Chords Textures Form Development Structure Time Originality Creativity Score Presentation Instrumentation Orchestration Playability Execution of Given Challenge Taste 10 10 10 10 9.5 8 10 9.5

Good evening everyone, I have decided to practice my counterpoint skills: I will be going through species first. Then, writing pieces that are not fugal (dances and such). Then learn fugal writing. I would appreciate if you provide feedback. That way, I can correct the mistake I have made. Thank you.

I dug through my old musecore files, and found what I think to be my first composition, from four months ago Op. 1, No. 1 – Miniature in D♯ Major.mp3 Op. 1No. 1 – Miniature in D♯ Major.pdf

maths... again...

Hi, I'm new so not sure if I'm supposed to comment here, but I wanted to say I'm amazed by this work. Really impressed with the natural dramaturgy of music flow as well as usage of contemporary harmony, rhythm, melodies. Glad to hear something new and exciting like this, keep it up ^^

If this was formal competition, it would not make pass the first round. There was a lack a proper form and devolvement in this piece; However, it was creative and original, and certainly the score looked professional and if this was delivered to players, they could read it. The melodic material was design.

@Omicronrg9 That was a long reply, so I may just focus on one aspect versus all of it lol. In all of the accompaniment work and chamber playing I have done, I would say most, if not all, of the scores had smaller staves for non-piano parts. I will attach a collection of links from IMSLP showcasing Piano trios from Mozart and Beethoven. Both Henle-Verlag and Bärenreiter-Verlag use reduced staves. Since smaller works do not need a conductor, the pianist usually gets the full transposed score. Allows us to follow along and coordinate with the musicians more specifically. With the stave spacing, I feel I should clarify that it is fine to read as is. I have no issue following along with it of course. It was more of a taste comment versus a "better or worse" comment. In my personal style, I like to space the staves by three to six measures if able. I think seeing it a little bigger on the paper can be easier for the performers eyes. Myself and other peers read our music off a tablet and use a bluetooth pedal to turn the pages. So for me, page turns are not an issue if there are more pages. Lastly, with system dividers, again, it's a preference. You'll see on these IMSLP scores that even big-publishers will put some kind of measure indicator. On ASCAP and J.W. Pepper, composers will use rehearsal marks. On IMSLP, publishers will put system numbers or sometimes measure numbers every 10-measures. If they are doing it, why can't we? I recommend other composers to put some kind of measure marking as we have to remind ourselves that other people will be playing the music with no previous understanding of it. It's a small cosmetic change that doesn't affect the music, but will add a convenience to anyone who plays our work. If you were to compare to mine, I go so far to ensure that a new rehearsal mark goes at the beginning of a new system when I can. A little visual detail that coincides with any new idea or important spot in the score. At the end of the day, this is some food-for-thought! 🙂 IMSLP: Mozart | Trio in C-major K.548 Beethoven | Trio in Eb-major Op.1 no.1 Beethoven | Trio in Bb-major Op.11

haha you know what, I actually will find all these format ok and I find your score here easy enough for me to read through while playing my part.

That’s nice to know

That is fine. I edited the first and hopefully fixed the errors.

I wrote a ballet a few years back! Notes aren't too hard since it would've had to been prepared pretty quickly, but I've always been more about screwing around with rhythm and meter, anyway. Forgive the recording quality: I had to make to scratch tracks and I only play cello, so I had to record all the parts except the bass and piano (except the plucking) 😅 Maybe I'll upload the other movements later, but this one is pretty interesting on its own, I think.
