This is excellent! I don't think I'll be able to make it by August 17th, I am so self-critical, but who knows... If not this year, then definitely next one. Very motivating, just what I needed! :)

If this topic was posted at least one year ago, I would have said... Ravi Shankar.

I do it in a few ways. For example, sometimes I just need to sit down and carefully write a skeleton of my composition, and other times the music comes by itself (usually when I am falling asleep haha) that's why I always have pen and paper prepared and I slowly collect all my ideas, and then later on play around them and I do lot of thinking. But I like to (and I really try hard to do that) imagine the whole piece all together (the goal, the vision) and later on, I am figuring out the details and how to reach my (hopefully) original vision. Then it seems much easier to write it as a whole. The process of envisioning is harder.

- you should listen to this piano transcription too :)

Symphony no.2 - Jean Sibelius Symphony no.4 - Pyotor Ilyich Tchaikovsky Symphony no.5 - Gustav Mahler Symphony no.10 - Dmitri Shostakovich Symphony no.40 - Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

YES, why not! Thank you for sharing, this was a very nice performance :nod:

Ohh this is very nice!! Something that I would definitely listen to while talking a pleasant evening stroll :happy: and I like how the theme progresses.. Kudos!
