Very nice. I like it so far. Keep it going. Just watch the range. A G above the staff (Bb pitch, not concert) and up really starts gettin into my upper register. I can do it up to the C, but it's stretching it a bit.

Jimmy, is this OK? I was writing something else, but it's not going onto the page very well and I won't be able to finish it by the Jan. 16 deadline.

Here's something I wrote in high school, and it's actually an extract from a larger piece. I know it's short, but you said you wanted a nice beautiful melody so I thought this might fit the bill. :)

Let me know if there's anything you want changed.

SOUND: II. LamentREAL.WAV

SCORE: LamentPDF2.pdf

EDIT: I forgot to write "Cup Mute" in the score originally, haha.

Ok here is my piece. It's about five and a half minutes long but dont worry you're not playing the ENTIRE time haha.

I tried to keep this piece on the simple side but don't get me wrong I think it has some pretty good melodies somewhere in the mix. The range is down to a low G up to an Ab so no problem there?

The mp3 doesn't really do a good job with dynamics but thats ok

take a listen...

Hi everyone,

I wrote a lyrical piece for trumpet and piano that may be suitable for this event.

About the work:

This piece was inspired by the popular vocalise by Rachmaninoff and its lyrical style, single prelude structure of Chopin, as well as static rhythmic and harmonic elements of the Baroque Adagio (second mvt of Marcello's Oboe Concerto in D minor, for example). The result is this vocalise for trumpet and piano. Of course any comments are always welcome.

Keep the pieces coming!

Hi,

Finally I have finished mine, after a long time without any idea.

Wall, I sent earlier the first movement, but after I wrote the two other movements I decided to change the order a bit.

So...

The first movement is a very light one - Very melodic, if you want.

It includes an opening for the piano, and then the trumpet enters.

The secind movement is a Mazurka, a bit heavier then the first movement but still melodic.

The third an last movement is what I sent earlier as the first: a light movement with a faster end.

Tell me if you like it, and if it is playable.

Also, ask me any question :)

thanks to all of those who entered this competition! EVERYONE sent in amazing pieces!

Well, I've listened to it, and yeah, that sounds good. Why did you write so much octaves in the beginning? I would write octave in the louder parts :) Anyway I don't know if you know Lisznyai: Autumn, maybe you would love it :) YouTube - CELLO : G
