Sorry, I kind of ran out of inspiration and even though I never forgot about the competition and even composed a draft I couldn't really go any farther than that. Thanks for understanding in advance.

Yusss... Have been quite behind, juggling my attempt at this score, and "life". It'll be in, on time :')

I'm 100% sure our Boss @chopin won't make silly mistake like this in Music Jotter ^0^

You're welcome. Musescore is wrong. There's some kind of glitch in the horns where if you go up to concert Bb in the treble clef it marks it as outside the range. It's because someone programmed it wrong where a concert F should be the top of the range rather than the written F (transposed into F Horn). It's just a mistake they haven't remedied yet.

Thanks Peter! MuseScore was telling me the horn part was straying into "expert range": so it's good to know it's ok.

Thank you so much for the kind words. Coming from you it's a great compliment, as I'm a huge fan of your work! I actually tried that brass arrangement in Bars 19-21 already; but much prefer the way I have it now. I found two trumpets together were a bit harsh, and the mellower tone of the horn created a better colour overall, when blended with the rest of the brass section. Think I also tried the trombone an octave lower in Bar 22, and switched it back; but will give it another shot. The Trombone 2 thing is just a temporary glitch in my score. I will be switching it to Trombone 1.

@ferrum.wav @ComposaBoi I can not wait to read your scores, listen your pieces, and then score it. :)

If you can't listen to it fully because you aren't masochistic enough, then you should better just stay out of it instead of making rootless criticism, as it won't make us happier seeing someone not enjoying their masochistic play. Henry

I'm sorry, but I can't listen it fully, because I'm not a masochistic person. Thanks for understanding.

You don't explain anything by posting your own music in other member's post. Also since you are a new member here, please check out the forum etiquette in the link below: Forum etiquette and Code of Conduct - Advice and Techniques - Young Composers Music Forum If you click into it please check out rule 2b: So you should post your composition as a new dedicated topic, and then you explain why @Wieland Handke 's music is "bland and forgettable, have nothing enjoyable and is not interesting to listen", and maybe then quote your own work here, instead of just posting your work here with zero explanation. Henry

I'm just going to send my own composition and what I mean will be more understandable in comparison jonn may pay today.mp3

But it is just your subjective feeling, you will have to elaborate more on why the themes are bland and why the music is forgettable and there's nothing enjoyable.. Maybe you are a new member here, but in this forum we only welcome constructive feedback like @PeterthePapercomPoser said. We are not like YouTube or reddit or discord where you can just leave a negative statement without explaining and get away with it, because what we want to achieve in this forum is to allow beneficial interaction between reviewers and reviewees so that both can progress in their own musical journeys. Clearly leaving just subjective statement without any analysis cannot do that at all. This can be really detrimental to many of our members because what they need is constructive feedback, not rootless criticism which won't help them grow and might harm their confidence in composing, just hope you understand that. Henry

Those are just your opinions offered without anything to substantiate them. Do you have any constructive feedback to offer? Perhaps you could use the Reviewing Template to justify your opinion?

It's bland and forgettable. There's nothing enjoyable. It's not interesting to listen.

This is nice! I really like when the strings enter at m 16, it’s a really nice color. If it were me I would move the Horn 1 part in m19-21 to the 2nd Trumpet. Then maybe bring the 2nd trombone at m22 down a fourth so it doubles the 2nd trumpet at the octave (or maybe even remove it altogether…?) Also, why does Trombone 2 have that part instead of Trombone 1? Overall really nice arrangement, I enjoyed listening!

No, unfortunately not this time. I am away and unable to finish the work I started.

Why so? Could you explain and elaborate more on that? Henry

Composition is awful

I really want some feedback dobryak.mp3 jonn may pay today.mp3 mayskie prazdniki .mp3

Great! Looking forward to hearing it! You will have a week (until June 9th) to review and vote for the winners.

Yes I still intend to submit a piece :) I also have a question: will there be a period after submissions are done to allow me and others to review the other pieces?

@MK_Piano , @UncleRed99 , @MrBelegro , @Luis Hernández , @Some Guy That writes Music , @ferrum.wav , @Monarcheon , @mercurypickles , @apple , @ComposaBoi , @HoYin Cheung , @Oak , @Brandon S Could you let us know if you still plan on submitting music to the competition? The competition will close to further submissions on Tuesday!

Piano Sonata in A Minor-3 Free Sheet Music by Robert C. Fox for Piano/Keyboard | Noteflight

Hi @Alex Weidmann ! Nice job on this orchestration. The horns do not go very high - only up to concert Bb which will be an F on the top line of the treble clef transposed to F. Thanks for sharing!
