Bibasis Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 To write a piano concerto which is properly orchestrated, notated and playable for all instruments... And to explore and develop non-tonal, more modern possibilities of composition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Austenite Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 To learn more and to get better. Also to get something performed if possible. AND to stick to my New Year's resolutions for more than a week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtfreestyle224 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 To somehow find time in my crazy schedule to finish the string quartet I'm working on. Also, to explore more styles of composition, become better at fugal writing, perhaps learn more about atonal music, and write for larger ensembles.

jrcramer Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I am very much looking forward to February, because, as I hope to have finished my final exams by them, I have that whole month to pose as a full time composer, working on a competition entry.

siwi Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Write the three pieces I have committed to doing (performances already scheduled); put together a portfolio and apply for PhD study in composition; get a piece performed in a foreign country (suprisingly, Iceland may be the most likely); write more chamber music; get stuff recorded. This may sound more like a 'to do' list than a series of resolutions; that's because at a technical level my long-term aims in composition remain the same every January 1st. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
