I want to join this competition

Hello, About six years ago, I orchestrated Schönberg’s Six Little Pieces for Piano. I only uploaded one of them to the “Writer’s Block and Suggestions…” section, since I wasn’t quite sure what I was doing. Now I know a little more about orchestration and how to approach different styles. So I’d like to share the orchestrated version of all six pieces. Thank you. Best regards.

Hello I think this is a beautiful piece. The melodic phrases are truly lovely, and while it doesn’t aim for an overly virtuosic style, it does evoke the Romantic era. I agree with everything @MK_Piano says; I think he has a valuable mastery of the piano and this style. I’d highlight one thing he mentions, which is to really reinforce the overall structure of the piece. Give it a clearer ABA form. I think the modulations are fantastic, but I also think a return to the starting key would give it more impact. I also agree regarding that 2/4 time signature. Rather than finding it problematic—since I see it as justified by what’s happening there, the modulation and “precipitation” into another harmonic region—it’s the fact, as he also pointed out, that it isn’t repeated in the recapitulation. A wonderful piece of work.

Hello, Since the duration of the pieces has been set at around 5 minutes—which I think is very manageable—and I think the evaluation template is great, I’d like to participate, to the best of my ability and based on my knowledge, as a reviewer... Please let me know if that’s okay. Best regards.

I would like to participate in this competition, please

Not sure of your methods of composing music, or what programs you utilize/sounds etc... But based on the recording provided, "ambient" is.. definitely a word that could be used to describe it, however I don't think that you are hitting the mark of what you intend to have this music ultimately sound like, in your description. The reason I say this is because when I think of the word "ambient", I don't imagine surprising, sudden changes in sound that are not expected, and result in a bit of a jarring feeling when listened to. (I'm referencing the 0:23 mark in the recording). That may be something to consider avoiding, moving forward, in my opinion. I'd urge you to look into more of the music written by C418, for Minecraft, and his other work. I believe you could gain some inspiration in the right direction from that artist. :) In regards to asking about any mistakes you might make, that's difficult to analyze it for, given that there is no provided sheet music. If you have a score for this piece, I'd be glad to look at it for you.

I will do the thing that is writing something or other for the thing mentioned above, and things. (I am declaring my intent to participate. for those who have to think a little bit too hard to figure that out) ☠️

For the "Landscapes - Soundscapes" Spring 2026 Composition Competition I propose the following badges: "The Pastorale Award" "The Bustling Cityscape Award" Anyone have anymore ideas?

Yes! Here's the competition announcement:

Hi, can you try uploading again? I tried and I was successful. Earlier this morning I did try to update the forum but was having some issues, maybe you tried uploading during that time. Try again and let me know.

Thanks! Yeah something I try to practise is to keep inventions and techniques for when they are useful instead of using them arbitrarily. In hindsight I think the form isn't perfect: While composing certain moments felt larger and longer but on listen not so much... But yeah if you wish to use it in teaching, go for it! Just let me know :D

Good job with this the micro tonality hits hard because it comes later in the piece. Great for warm-ups and also concert performance as well. I may need to look at the score closer, but it may be a good teaching device.

Thank you so much for your feedback! It is so greatly appreciated, and has brought to light so many obvious things that I just haven't paid attention to it seems! Everything you say makes complete sense, and will definitely help me a lot for the exam!!! Thank you so much, and I'll be working on all these points!

Are we able to register for the competition now/ is the pole finalized?
