YC26

Hahaha. Use more bow in some spots and less in others. Slow down the vibrato too.

I'm almost done reviewing everything. Expect the results soon. Like I said before, the YC remodeling slowed stuff down for me.

Alright, Scores and a winner are coming soon. I didn't bother and try logging into this awful site this weekend when Chopin was uglyfying it. Soon, soon, soon.

Yeah, move your stuff around. It isn't hard. OR, put the staccato markings on the stem side of the notes. That's fine. I've seen that in plenty of music.

Of course you are right J.Hall. In fact, I love the kind of ambiguity that can happen the almost independent bass line you can create from 6/4 chords, or other "late" inversions. Especially when you mix everything with the whole idea of being pandiatonic or bitonal. You're right though, but only from a compositional standpoint. CPE theory is just strict in certain ways. Sorta. But you have the right idea.

FYI, 6/4 happens in more cases than being cadential.

Alarm will sound and the NOW ensemble and Blackbird... amazing

No.

Yeah. That's not the difficult part either. Having an agile, tactile bow technique is the hard part for playing Tchaikovsky. Multi-stop parts really don't fall into this. I don't think you understand the difficulties of playing string parts in orchestras.

You don't play a string instrument. I don't understand how it can even bother you. I've played violin in two of his symphonies, and viola in 3. I've played as a violist in orchestral parts for some of his concertos, and as a violinist in marche slave and 1812. Double stops are common in almost every romantic composers symphonic works.. and when they are there... they are there extensively. If things are really awkward, sections just divisi things. It isn't a big deal at all.

As a string player... uh.. Tchaikovsky's writing has never bothered me. I've played several large scale works on both violin and viola... and uh.. double stops are in everything.

Copland is so not American. :)

Sorry, but competitions are for horses.

Be Clementi. Study Clementi scores/ theory within his music... look for stylistic nuances... Idk. Sounds boring.

Yes, they do.
