composerorganist Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Two suggestions jason: 1) Top 3 placed composers in previous competition should not participate as entrants 2) Resubmission of works from prior competition are not allowed. It will open up the competition to new entrants and prevent judges reviewing prior pieces. I may judge but let me see what my workload will be. Need a week to decide.

jawoodruff Posted October 8, 2010 Author Share Posted October 8, 2010 Hah. You haven't recorded what I wrote for you. I'm willing to judge again. Do you want me to record it without practicing it? It wont be that good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tokkemon Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Changed my mind. I'm not judging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jawoodruff Posted October 9, 2010 Author Share Posted October 9, 2010 I guess not. Well, once you've done recording, just let me know out of courtesy, ok? When I'm done recording, I'm going to post the work with the recording on the forum - if that's ok. I was also going to send a copy via PM to you guys - so you had a personal copy.

Gamma Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 How much is too difficult? I have a piece I'm working on, and at first glance one might assume it's too difficult for a beginner. Though I have a strong assertion that pieces shouldn't be blatantly easy. I believe a piece should be hard enough to take some time to work on and grow and develop in their pianistic abilities. Not taking years or months to learn. This also should not impede on the musicality as well. I never enjoyed playing small pieces out of beginning piano books that were developed in less than 5 minutes and were completely void of musicality. I also believe you gain much more sense of accomplishment and success when learning more difficult, well written pieces and will aid you in the future. Sorry for the "rant", but like I mentioned earlier, it's a strong assertion of mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jawoodruff Posted October 19, 2010 Author Share Posted October 19, 2010 Well, I am still very much a beginner. If you want, post an example of it and I'll look at it to see if I can play it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highway6 Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 So.. this is a competition not for beginner composers... but for composers of any skill to produce a piece for a beginner piano player ? Right ? Also.. Do entrants have to submit a score? or mp3 only? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audiosprite Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 My submission: Sonatina I'm thinking about entering, is this about the level of proficiency that we should anticipate of the pianist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jawoodruff Posted November 4, 2010 Author Share Posted November 4, 2010 Yes, about that difficulty is max - anything under that will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
