WAIIIIITTTTT. Stop. Everybody. The competition HASN'T started yet. Relax. I am working with Aniolel on making a better melody for the competition. So PLEASE, STOP WRITING (since it starts in two days ANYWAY). Relax. You'll have an acceptable melody for when the competition STARTS.

No worries, my friend.

If it makes you feel any better, some of us spent time second-guessing ourselves and trying to figure out how to harmonize it properly to see if we were actually missing something. And I'm sure Aniolel spent more time than any of us stressing and trying to come up with something.... Anyway, if you managed to write so much yesterday, Herr Mozart, you can always finish it off later and post it as a separate piece or rework it into the new one. :P

This is my newset post, i intended to illustrate musical nonsense but i am afraid not very successful the task not being easy but not entirely impossible for example when one is composing & stumbles on what doesn't work & instead of correcting it to go with it for the sake of illustrating musical nonsense that being a meritable motive in theoretical musicology to expose all that doesn't work perhaps in the extreme would suffice. :facepalm:http://www.youngcomposers.com/music/2502/netherworld/

Shy? :P Haha, well, you've already gotten one review claiming it's greatness ;) I doubt you need to apologize! I'm looking forward to your post. I'll probably upload mine too, for suggestions on improvement, to try and 'persuade' some uni student to perform, and record... :P

It's my forum. My job to make sure things are peaceful and in control. This is the biggest competition we've had since January's, so while it's fun to have quite a few accomplished composers in the competitions, the usual group is more interested in the education aspect of the competitions rather than the competitiveness. We aren't used to people being so demanding around here. hahah.

I'm glad you stepped in and cleared this up.

Tokke. If you aren't going to be civil or encouraging to an amateur composer, I suggest you leave my forum.

Neither. Its not a matter of it being simple or not, its a matter of they suck.

It was quite an experience for me, too! So, thank you, as well. I will definitely go back and fix the things you mentioned! You said that you would play it once? Do you want me to send you the final updated score? Just curious, would this be at your leisure, or for an audience as well? :P --- Hey, Robert, I'd like to hear/take a look at your work :) I'm sure it is worthy.

Aniolel... please reupload the first melody as the only melody. As per the RULES: the melody does NOT have to be the focus of the piece. Make it a countersubject or a bridge melody. Accept that melodies can be basic. Use basic and short to expand. There are pieces to be written from ALL quarter notes. Be glad you have an acceptable tunesmith. Remember that if Aniolel hadn't suggested a romantic composition, we might be doing a John Adams imitation contest. ;) YOU MAY USE THE FIRST MELODY ONLY.

Are these pieces posted anywhere? I would be interested in hearing/seeing them.

There is an obvious correlation between the music and its composer but there are severe limits. First of all, the quality of the music depends almost entirely on how much the composer has thought about his work and how experienced he is or is not. And a person's personality does determine what style he enjoys, how easily satisfied he becomes with his work etc etc.. but I don't believe it happens the way you put it, as in: an exciting person writes exciting music, a boring person writes boring music. Excitement and boredom in music depends on the composer's intention, yes, but also on his ability to follow through that intention (which takes years to nurture). The other problem with this is that there is no absolute of what exciting music is or should be. Aesthetics varies by time, place, and person. What I'm also implying is that I don't believe in the romantic notion of the composer - the musician who lets his feelings run wild and these produce art. I think that's bs. The composer is both an artist and a craftsman and the division between the two is really superficial and academic.

How Often Do You Revise A Question? How Long Does It Take To Make A Point? Are You Afraid Of Being Misunderstood? Why Do You Ask So Many Questions?
