A magnificent piece: I love it! Especially the way it combines Baroque counterpoint with a modern harmonic language. The only problem is, it's unplayable in places. Bars 28 and 35 to name but two examples. Human hands cannot reach all those notes! Also Page 2 would benefit from having the left hand in treble clef most of the time; otherwise you have too many ledger lines to read. The notation is generally quite confusing to the eye. This is partly down to the voice allocations. Bar 47 is a good example. The lower notes in the right hand would be far easier to read if they were merged into the left hand. The upper notes in right hand voice 2 should be in voice 1, and the B natural is unplayable. Definitely worth revising this piece to fix these problems, as I think the composition is very good. It would be a difficult piece to pull off; but could be made playable for sure. Btw, the audio sounds strangely muffled sometimes. Not sure what's happened there? Anyway, hope that helps. Alex

Oh! These are great badges! Thank you @PeterthePapercomPoser and the support team! I like the designs for "Synthesizer Wizard," "Gentlefolk," and "Stimulator" are especially wonderful! Very nice! Also, adding this text to the first post in this topic ( @PeterthePapercomPoser's post listing the awards) might make things clearer! By the way, there is someone I would like to nominate for a badge, so I’ll take this opportunity to mention it here. Person's name: @Vasilis Michael Badge: Meticulous Composer Topic for the badge: https://www.youngcomposers.com/t50201/sonata-no-26-in-a-major-binary/ Reason: I think the piano composition itself is crafted with incredible precision—including the interplay between the left and right hands. Furthermore, the piano playback is really amazing; the articulation and sound clarity reflect that same meticulous attention to detail, which is why I wanted to award him this badge. His pieces are always wonderful, after all :) Best, Lithl.

Ah, I see. I’ll try to revise it so that it can be played. Thank you sincerely for the feedback.

As per @Lithl 's suggestion, some new badges have been published! Yes - good point! If you wish to anonymously nominate someone for an award, you can message any of the staff privately and we will take your nomination into consideration!
