Thank you? I think? I didn't take things personally at all. Actually I thought your Space Nerd piece was quite good and idiosyncratic. That's why I made a dedicated topic for it. Plus all original pieces of music are supposed to have their own dedicated topics per the forum code of conduct and etiquette. Since I am a site admin I was just doing some moderating by making sure that your posts are in their right place in the forum.

I don't know if your "joke" makes him sad or not but it makes me sad seeing you attacking people with "jokes"

Lord Christ; sorry I said that, but sometimes I think certain people are too sensitive to a simple pun or joke. No hard feelings? I'll behave, somewhat, at least.🙃

He is a good composer, and I like his music. Way too sensitive, though, and has problems taking a simple joke.

Why do you call Peter "Peter Toilet Paper Composer"? That's VERY IMPOLITE of you to say so. He is very well respected among us and NO ONE should stigmatize him with such nasty nicknames. Henry

Jesus, Peter Toilet Paper Composer; CALM DOWN! I think you are a talented and competent composer, but stop taking things so personally!

Here's a masterpiece of a Violin Sonata: Brahms: Violin Sonata No. 1 in G major, Op. 78 (with Score)

It is by Outis, Ancient Greek for Nobody, so obviously, free to play around with; public domain. It is such a masterpiece, though...🤣

Space Nerd Free Sheet Music by Outis for Piano/Keyboard | Noteflight ...My piano MASTERPIECE!!! 🤣

To complete, I would actually have to do some ANALysis! Work on variations of that chord...bit too drunk right now! 🫠

Sh*t, I'm not digging! Never expected this trifle to have so many views! I may finish it, but it will be no masterpiece! Cool chord, though! 🤣

Usually if you keep digging your own posts it will attract views. 🤣

That many views, and so I have to finish this piano prelude eventually! You people are MAKING ME WORK!!! 🤣

We start the competitions based on the members interest in one.

It’s been a pleasure Out of curiosity, when’s the next competition in the timeline for its course?

Hi @Fugax Contrapunctus ! I concur with Jordan! I think this fugue is one of your best! I especially like the ending. It doesn't overwhelm the listener with overactive counterpoint. Concerning the portamento I'll once again quote what @Alex Weidmann taught me in a previous post: Thanks for sharing!

I’m looking for feedback, Harmony orchestration interpretation, especially those three things like the more in depth deep dive stuff if you want to go ahead and do a whole entire score analysis

Hi, Bjarke. This is certainly an exciting piece! Lots of color and rhythm. I'm curious... what were your goals/aims as a composer for this piece? What were you representing or symbolizing or trying to evoke? Knowing the composer's intent is very useful when trying to provide feedback. Best, Jordan

Hi, Marc. This was a pleasant listen. It evoked a sense of carefreeness, like watching clouds in a spring meadow. The melodic writing could use some attention. I felt like it competed with, rather than complimented, the rhythmic structure of the piece. Some of the harmonies were a bit ambiguous, too. I think the piece needs a more cadential framework so that the harmonic progression doesn't float around so much. I loved the various imitations of the main theme in the different voices! Thanks for sharing. Best, Jordan

Hi. L.P. What sort of feedback are you looking for?

This is a beautiful fugue, well-developed and carefully crafted such that each voice has its "time to shine." The voice leading is impeccable! Honestly, I don't have any critiques to offer, just wanted to applaud your efforts here. (I do have a comment on the recording: it sounded like the violins were on constant portamento. I'm not sure if that was intended but it was a little off-putting to me.) Happy composing! Best, Jordan

The competition is now over! See the winners and results here:

A very beautiful piece; I like the way it has such a restrained use of colour. And the piano part is very characteristic of the style. Well done.

This is a close race!
