Beginner Piano Composition Competition

Preferably, Central Time. However, I will be lenient and allow the entries to be posted by that persons time zone. I'll most likely adjudicate within 2 days of the entry deadline. So... if you submit after the deadline above... like a day or two.. then I might consider them.

Can I take out my entry and substitute it for another?

Yes, you can.

I'd like to then. :)

You can remove my name from the list. I have been working 38 hour weeks (normally its 24) all month which I can't complain about because its good pay. Does mean I did not get anywhere with my entry though which I am disappointed about.

Egad finally finished it. here is my entry - go to the first post:

August 31 - Go to the last post, rebarred it and added a little bit of music

There's my new one. :D

There they are, attached to this post. Still too difficult, probably, but I think with a little practice you could do it. I can add fingerings if you need (if it wins).

edit: it sounds better if you change the second to last note in the left hand to an F#

Thaks so much Roy! I used the demo version of sibelius and so I have no recording software at all. I was going to record them in school but I didn't manage to. Thanks mso much!

Sorry Jason. I totally spaced about my competition piece. I managed to somehow get writer's block within the first 15 bars. Soooo. Yeah. My bad.

ATTENTION! ATTENTION!

I want to thank all of the competitors for the many entries received for this competition! The final tally of scores was very, very close. So close, in fact, that I am forced to choose two entrants (both tallied only 1 point apart!)

First Place (#1): SergeofArniVillage

First Place (#2): Composerorganist

As promised, I will be recording this work!

Will both of you please provide me a copy of the score (you can upload to box.net or the forum here). Also, I would like any performance notes stated so that I can record your work according to your specifications!

Again, thanks to all who participated! I will be sponsoring another competition of this type soon... so please stay tuned!

Congrats Serge :)

Congrats to Serge and Composerorganist!

Congrats guys!!!

Jason - I'll post you the final most revised version this evening. Don't worry I made very very tiny changes in a few spots - a little extra pedaling, two tiny dynamic changes, and a tie added to one note.

Thanks for the votes everyone. Congrats Serge!

Congrats to the both of you! Do the rest of us get to know our placings? Lol.

Just send me a message and I will post your placings as well as the comments of the judges.

I very much liked composerorganist's piece, I really think it deserved to win! Very happy about the result.

Now to listen to SergeOfArniVillage's piece until I get it...

WOW. I'm utterly speechless O_O

Thank you, I'm SO happy right now :D :blush:

Ok Jason
