Hey, give it a try. Won't hurt. ;) Just put in more chromatic lines and more bold virtuoso writing. ;)

In this thread I invite: a) Any performer who wishes for a specific piece to be written for their instrument to describe the piece they are asking for so that the many composers in here may choose to take up the challenge and compose the piece they are looking for. b) Any composer who is looking for a performer for a certain piece to provide the link to their composition and get in contact with performers of the instruments it calls for to arrange for possible performance. I hope that in this way the right composer and the right performer can be helped to find each other and join together for a fruitful collaboration and perfect partnership. I believe a special thread made for this purpose (such as the present one) can immensely aid in the creation of such collaboration between composer and performer so that both can achieve their aims - the composer getting the pieces he/she composes performed and the performer getting the pieces they wish for composed. The composer and the performer both need each other and cannot fully achieve their aims alone. So collaboration between them for the fullest realization and furtherance of both of their aims is of paramount importance. They need to communicate so that each can learn what the other expects from them and take it into consideration as they go about achieving their respective aims. These respective aims of theirs need not diverge from each other or be mutually exclusive. It is exactly this that such a collaboration between the two will help them realize in the long run. I got this idea after I mentioned in another thread how we composers were at the mercy of performers and an oboe performer here offered to play and record it if I wrote a good piece for oboe. Thus was created the opportunity for collaboration between a composer and a performer. I composed the piece and he liked it. And now I am hoping to hear his performance of it. And so, encouraged by that positive experience, I hope that it can be made possible for many others via this thread inviting very such collaboration between composers and performers.

Thanks for the initiative, Luderart... Since it's easiest to have a solo work performed, I have the two piano pieces I've uploaded so far: The Nocturne in G minor, Op. 18 (I'm glad to say this one is already under study by fellow member DinaHeartX :thumbsup: ) The Piano Sonata No. 3 in C, Op. 23 (perhaps some could perform a single movement or the full work). Anyone deeming them performance-worthy can let me know :toothygrin: .

Thus, if I said I was interested, no one in YC would ever believe me :P .

LOL! :D

Another good idea is leaving it 'til the day before the exam and then posting on an internet forum in the hope that someone will supplement your entire year's study of one of two pieces with a couple of sentences about the other.
