I'd like to try it too.

Well, that makes two! Welcome aboard!

I'll take that #19 spot.

  • Author

Cool!

This is the last day to sign up, and there is only one spot left!! So, first one to post gets it!

Count me in!

  • Author

O.K. then! No more entries please!

Maybe this is stupid question but I'm kinda new in this. I've finished my piece for the competition. Where and when could I post it?

  • Author

Um... hold on. The submissions thread will be created in mid-March.

Woah, we have 20 participants :) That's an ambitious number :P I do hope all of them submit, but on the other hand, as a judge it can be a bit intimidating...

I don't think I'll write as big reviews as I wrote for the first competition I was a judge in, but we may as well say to all participants to read the reviews of the previous competitions, and tell them we won't comment on things that were mentioned on previous reviews, and that if it's something important that has been mentioned before, they will be degraded more (because they won't have cared too much about their submission).

What do you think? (btw, I am finishing up the reviews atm, but I don't think my battery is going to last that long, so I will send them tomorrow morning, unless you can find someone to get me my AC adaptor, because I am too lazy :P ).

C ya! :D

Exactly. PLEASE read ALL previous reviews once XxCransworthxX comes back.

Can any sounds be used as long as there are only two voices?

  • Author

Correct.

morivou, when are the reviews going to be posted?

  • Author

When I get them all.

I thought I was the last... :X

I cannot open your files for some reason, could you send them by Microsoft Document to cornycon2002@gmail.com? (For some reason Adobe is being a JACK-***)

Wait, there might be something wrong with the server - do all the files appear to be 12 kb? If yes, then it's the server thing and I'll have to zip all the files and upload them somewhere else (or send them to your e-mail). However, I gave the links to the contestants individually (the direct link to their file, that is), and they got their reviews just fine... Try and save the files instead of opening them in your browser, if you haven't tried that. :| Anyway, if nothing of the above works, I'll try and save them as .doc (because I use OpenOffice.org and the format might not be the same in MS Word) and send them to you :)

I have to drop out of the competition. I just don't have the time to focus on composing with all the clarinet stuff I have going on... :(

  • Author

O.K.

  • 2 weeks later...

Like ClarinetMichael...I will also have to drop out :(

Sorry to be a pain. I have heaps of piano study to do...and I have more important compositions that need finishing. I will upload what I have worked on one day, but it's not going to be ready before the 20th. I didnt really think about how difficult two part compositions would be as well.

Perhaps next time before I consider entering a comp...I will think about whether my prowess is possible at doing so.

  • 2 weeks later...

Hm... Four days to go! I really hope this contest does not end like the previous one :(

Maybe some one of you judges should PM everyone just to remind them?

  • Author

Juji? Will you PM the participants (like, a MASS PM)? I may extend the deadline a couple of days if any are planning on submitting.

Okies :)

I am dropping out. From lack of inspiration and skill. I cannot be happy with anything I write for two instruments... one time out of a million I can create something worthwhile (my earlier bassoon duet being the only example). I simply have a hard time working under such limitations - two instruments is not enough for me. :forlorn:

Sorry guys.
