I do believe that a "Hall of winners"-like section should have been created long long time ago. This is simple and already very effective. Having a winner work selected into a special category is already a way not to let it fall into oblivion that easy. Also, new people arriving here this forum would have good references in looking for pieces there, in order to study, appreciate or whatever... This is something that could be done soon, very soon.

Why is this still a topic of debate? Atonal music is literally almost 100 years old. In the professional music world this debate is pretty much only kept alive by jaded composers who feel slated somehow by the pluralistic society of styles that makes up the modern new music world. Additionally, to say atonal music is easy hasn't really taken the time to understand music of the 20th century. It is an uneducated observation and statement to claim that writing non-tonal music is as easy as letting your cat walk across the piano keys.

I have Gold, and you don't really even "need" a sequencer to do what you described you want to do. The Play Edition allows you to open the program, select your instrument (or mulitple) and play on your keyboard. You get a lot more out of the samples with a sequencer, but many times I load the great piano samples and just play without using Cubase.
