February Competition

February: Heckel

Well, only 5 more days 'till February... time flies, doesn't it?

So for this competition, you must write a piece that has a Violin, Viola, and your choice of either a percussion or a woodwind instrument or 2.

The piece must be no shorter than 3 minutes, and no longer than 10. Pieces above and below will be given consideration but will be penalized. The piece must have a small, 1/2-2 minute section where it is dissonant, atonal or 12 tone. This competition has one rule that will really set it apart from other competitions. Judges will score, but the winning competitor from the judges point will listen to and critique the work besides his or her own. Who he decides will be second place, and the rest will stack down.

Each judge can award a competitor 20 points:

10 for basic sound of the piece

5 for orchestration

and 5 for originality and creativity

You must submit your piece by 12:00 am March 1st. Results will be posted within the following 1-2 weeks. I would like to have 5 judges (including myself).

Ok, now I'm confused... are you saying we can choose the instruments we want to compose for? Your original competition announcement said Violin, Viola AND percussion or 1 wind instrument. So... from that i take it Violin and Viola are mandatory? I already started the piece for Vn, Va, and Timpani... is that ok?

I took that to mean Violin and Viola AND 2 woodwinds... j hall was just using short hand.

Would you like to enter?

Yes I would! But I said that last month and didn't have time. But I have a few ideas sketched, so yes!
