Thank you, Lithl. :) I have a few thoughts of something I want to add to this piece, despite finalizing it. (I also noticed some engraving errors I'd like to correct.) Stay tuned, if interested :) -Unc

Regarding playback sound, I use Nucleus / Audio Imperia Flute & Clarinet, MuseSounds Bassoon, and Spitfire LABS Reverberant Ribbons Intimate Piano. It's just utilization of VST3 plugins to get that realistic playback sound :) Thank you for your kind words. I have more I have thought I want to add to this piece. Stay tuned, if interested. :) -Unc

From "The Occult" by Colin Wilson: And if you've gotten this far, thanks for reading!

Ah, thank you for teaching me a new concept @PeterthePapercomPoser . I always just thought of that chord in question as a special dominant chord that is just a half step above the actual dominant chord, so in my mind it was flat because I saw it as a C7 chord, if that makes sense :) I think I see the logic of having it as a A# now. It's kinda neat how depending on the genre, can be seen different ways. Sorry @Martynas123 !!

Just be carefull

What a Lovely little Doggy, immediately made me cry. I think some doggy's have a spirit that can be seen beyond the Fur The love they possess can be seen in certain characteristics , wagging their tale when they greet you excited about being taken for a walk, and of course Dinner-Time That kind of spirit can't be embodied by a mere human because its Far to PURE. Regarding this composition , i did previously say that your " Best is yet to come" And this is the first one, and the start of many more... perhaps your getting Guidance from someone, with the letter "A" ? --- The whole composition sounds like its being played by REAL people Because every Instrument sounds so REAL ! I dont know how you did this, but its BEAUTIFUL , just like Anna x

Hello dear UncleRed99, This is a wonderful piece. Since she lived to be 17, she certainly had a long life. Of course, I hadn't heard the piece before, but it has a lovely, nostalgic quality to it. It’s not nostalgia for a specific place or time, but rather the kind that comes from looking back on cherished memories. It has become a beautiful memory paired with a beautiful song. Your work is always so gentle and warm; it brings a sense of comfort. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful piece and your memories. Rest in peace, Anna. Best, Lithl.

Thanks @Grant Weep for your review of @Martynas123 's piece! I would argue that the spelling of the chord in measure 12 is correct with an A# instead of a Bb because the function of the chord in question is a German Augmented 6th chord. The augmented 6th in question is between C and A#. In this type of chord, the C is expected to resolve down to B while the A# resolves up to B. One could argue that its function is similar to a tritone substitution dominant 7th chord which would in fact be spelled C, E, G, Bb. However this type of spelling is used in jazz music. In the classical period, the proper spelling and function was quite different from its conception in jazz.

Hello, I liked the galloping momentum of the song. And just when it sort of settles in and I'm banging my head to the music...the atmosphere change at 57 was unexpected and pleasant. Around measure 92 to 100...best part of the piece in my opinion. It sounds...almost kinda jazzy, but not really, I had to try it on the keyboard for myself. Where did you get the idea from for this part? While you did not ask for feedback on notation...I found that you would do this thing where you wrote A# instead of Bb and it made it hard to follow the music in the beginning. If you wanted other people to read your sheet music I would recommend looking into that. The first instance of this occurring at measure 12 in the right hand, I would replace the A# with a Bb

Anna's Lullaby was the culimation of an instrumentation challenge posed to me by @MK_Piano , and a Piano Chord Progression & Motif that I came up with during my down time. It elicited, to me, what felt like a lullaby, or, a loving embrace. Which reminded me of one of the Family dogs that we had, growing up. Her name was Anna. She passed, in recent years, due to her old age, and she was one of the most memorable parts of my childhood. So I've dedicated this score to her memory. I feel it lays her to rest, in a careful and loving way. Feedback is welcomed! -Unc AnnasLullaby.pdfAnnasLullaby.mp3 P.S. Here's the most recent photo I had of Anna. I wish it were a better one. It's a screenshot of a video I took of her giving me a "5" or, giving me her paw. You can see her age in this photo. She was 17 when she passed.

Right on. I personally think people should chose interesting song titles. Really enhances the listening experience.

Hello, It's so wonderful. I don't know why, but the part at 4:08 sort of feels off, like it should go on for a bit longer. It probably wouldn't be the case with an actual human performer vs MIDI file though. Maybe it's more of a performance thing vs compositional thing. In the Coda at 4:36, it sounds very familiar. I can't quite place it...probably a wonderfully sounding cliche that many greats have used before you? The ending has such a nice flair to it. That chord at measure 236. I wish I could give you a chef's kiss for that one. So elegant and wonderful and a bit bittersweet on top of it all. I like the choice to break with the RH pattern you did for most of the piece and just go at it hard with those wonderful consistent 16th notes in the RH. So whole piece feels like eating a lot of delicious sweets. It sounds/tastes so sweet, it can't be good for me if I listen to it too much right? ;) Anyways, those are my thoughts... I wonder what you had in mind when you were writing it? P.S. The notation looks beautifully done! So much attention to detail :).

Please note: It was just a mere reminder that all contestants should adhere to competition rules. We had influx of AI entries in past on this forum, @interlect , so we all voted on what the policy regarding that should be. So far, there have not been any issues. I hope it stays that way. However, I am not afraid to DQ anyone who tries to use it.

I've just finished revising and completing my arrangement of Isaac Albéniz's España (6 Hojas de Álbum) for string orchestra. I hope you enjoy it! Any feedback is very welcome. 1. Preludio.pdf

Hello ! ........A revamp update , to the classic ROBOCOP2 main theme, with a no page cutoff PDF Score. "This rendition in NO WAY uses any kind of ai" ROBOCOP2 2026 recreation rendition by Mavell.pdf

Hey Tristan, I will admit that I had some reservations going in to this concerto. I recall commenting on previous piano works of yours and being critical of engraving and individual playability with the piano instrument. This time however, I was genuinely pleased with the musical content of this work. So much so, I wish to dissuade any critical notion I had and provide a comment and analysis beneficial to you. I like to annotate on PDFs and I wish to do so for the entirety of this work. However, I cannot do so in a quick manner and in the current state of this concerto. Here are my first thoughts and quick amends I wish for you to do: PAGE LAYOUT (using MuseScore Studio 4) Your overall page and score layout is... to be blunt, Bad. Only 1-3 measures per page (maybe four or five)... for almost 18 minutes? The page is too small for the ensemble size, or the measures are too big. In Musescore, you can fix this by going to the top of the editor and pressing Format>>Page Settings. Even if you do not expect this to be performed, there is ALWAYS a chance it will be one day. Thus, I think it best to always treat your music as practical versus theoretical. Specifically, think about how a conductor, someone who has NEVER seen your work, will see it and try to understand it. What about the players? Everything you write will have an effect on those who see it. Conductors. Conductors will have to control the score and turn the pages. You have 287 pages worth of music... This is very ineffective for a conductor and if a director was looking for music to program, even the length of the document can be a deciding factor. MUSESCORE Musescore has a feature to end movements properly. Go to your Palettes tab>>Layout>>Section Break. This will allow you to end a movement, have a pause, and redisplay the full instrument names for the next movement. It is essential to use this in multi-movement works. (In hindsight, I see you have done this, good job!) Use the Frames to create extra pages. Nowhere on the score does it state the size of the ensemble... aka how many performers. You can use vertical frames and page breaks to add extra pages. Front Matter. Use Frames and page breaks to create extra pages before the first page of music. (what is called the front matter) Then, to add text and custom text fields, click the frame you wish to add text, go to the top of your screen and hit Add>>Text>> Title, Subtitle, etc. I would like to do a proper analysis at another time, however I cannot promise when as it will be a large task for me. In the meantime, to make it easier for others, please amend the page layout and measure spacing. Good work!

Thank you very much for the detailed and extensive feedback! Cheers.

Hi Tristan! I really like this piece! There are definitely a variety of textures in the music and all instruments are utilised in their own unique way. The range also keeps the music flowing, which many pieces do not include (even I am sometimes a victim!!) Something to keep in mind is in the winds. There is a solo flute line of semiquavers which as a whole I really like. Just remember that real flutists would have to tongue very fast at that tempo to hit them accurately! Adding a few slurs can help immensely! You can leave some semiquavers, about two thirds, detached, but us fellow wind players’ tongues get tired when they are working that hard! Two more quick things: The viola plays an incredibly high note (relative to the normal range) at one point. Remember the alto clef is lower, so instead of placing a load of ledger lines, it’s no harm to change to treble! And near the beginning, the violin, again, plays a high note. I couldn’t exactly tell because of the ledger lines, so maybe edit this to an 8va? Overall, I really love this, although take my advice with a grain of salt. I’m no ensemble expert! gooberro

https://musescore.com/user/96214813/scores/28405348 This is my second concerto, written in e minor for piano and orchestra. It consists of three movements. Mov. 1 E Moll Mov. 2 B Dur-E Dur Mov. 3 E Moll. My Internet is low so I won't bother with the details. Thx! Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. -TristanTheTristan

@danishali903 "...when Debussy orchestrated, he didn’t care about the number of instruments – it was all in the service of colour." OK, I think I didn’t express myself very well on this point. What I meant was that it’s not unusual for him to use a large number of musicians, precisely, as you say, to experiment with all those timbres and ranges. When you look at the instrumentation he uses in some of these orchestral pieces, you tend to think it’s going to sound ‘grand’ in the style of Mahler or something like that. But of course, he does it to create all those wonderful atmospheres. As for the harmonics played with a 5th touch, I agree, and that’s something I’ll bear in mind (i.e. using the 4th artificial harmonics). Cheers.
