It seems that the single post with the links to all the entrants' submissions has missed the link to ChristianPerrotta's submission "Scottish Elegy": I hope that the judges did not rely on the above shortcut and considered his piece as an entry. Otherwise, there is still time for you to consider it. Here is the link: EDIT: Now I see, at 3:16 minutes, it probably didn't qualify. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Well. Maybe? I love the Pines of Rome and the Rautavaara Piano Concerto. Perhaps I framed it incorrectly, but the rest of the piece isn't bad necessarily for liking a great moment in a certain movement. Once one begins to listen to music as chords and notes rather than an entire piece, how it operates both in and out of context is really important, I feel. I can't disagree that what came before or what comes after makes a difference, but analytically, I can't say it makes all the difference. That's how I was taught anyway.
