Octatonic scale? Score.

*thatguy suits up and enters the competition*

LOL "using the octatonic scale" = writing music like Jennifer Higdon.

Sounds good enough. I'm in, maybe.

I'll judge if you want.

If I enter a piece, I enter a piece. If I don't, I don't - in which case I might judge. Don't know if I will or not, we'll see.

Winner of this competition gets a link to their piece featured on the Young Composers' Home Page for at least one month. (unless the winner opts out)

-- The composition must make use of the octotonic scale in SOME fashion, but it does not have to use the scale the whole composition

THE octotonic (diminished) scale, or ANY octotonic scale?

I'll judge.

Sign me up. I'll give it a try.

Maybe a dumb question, but piano ok?

Piano is a solo instrument, so yes.

i wanna concourse!!! where i post the score and the music?

Hey add me in. Just a nice change from sexteting. I'll do piano.

Morgri, will you add my name to the list of contestants? Thanks.

I assume solo instrument means no accompaniment. Oboe and marimba wouldn't be okay, would it?

Do we submit the music here or PM you?

  • Author

Yes, solo instrument means only one instrument is allowed. Submit the pieces here.

Sign me up

Sure, count me in. I'll give it a shot.

Here's my entry!!

For prepared piano -solo instrument (yes only piano), in a octatonic scale- (yes, is a common wood clasic acoustic upright piano).

It doesn't have any electronic modification, no recording modification no other modification that the preparation -put objets in their cords- (I post too an appendix with the nesecary information for prepare it and play it).

Remember, no electronic sounds and nothing like that, no effects no recording edition, only a common piano with objets in their cords.

Audio File (mp3) here!

I call it: "Acusmer #1"
