Bachian -

Your piano piece reminds of early romantic music with an occasional modern tendencies (in particular the tempo contrasts - the most effective part of the work in my opinion).

Overall very cohesive and dramatic. I'd love to hear you try a more contemporary language - harmonically especially as well as expand on the tempo contrasts in your next work.

And yes, I hate midi piano playbacks - sounds like some arthritic teenager is playing your piece.

Love the roulades and your treatment of the instrument - you used its three ranges to imply three voice piece - bravo. Also good roulades. Only reservation I have is allowing the clarinet player to breathe - you don't offer much opportunity. Fortunately, in this piece, a very good clarinet player can easily determine spots to to catch a breathe. Just be more aware of this next time you write for clarinet.

What did you get your degree in at Oregon?

All right! Time to get in my entry!

The octatonic scale I use, if it were in C, would be: C, B, Bb, A, G, F, Eb, Db, C, but I don't think I ever use it in C.

There are some nice entries. Some seemed to favor the dissonant side of the octatonic, where a few others tried to balance its dissonant nature with some stable tonality. Either way, it's made an interesting competition. :thumbsup:

Many thanks for your comments. I have a degree in Digital Arts actually, but I originally went for the composition program.
