March 1, 201412 yr I challenge you to write a set of variations on this beautiful theme by R. Schumann! I would've included the chord symbols, but that would make it too easy for you. :PI would like to request some judges, if possible.Anyways, the requirements are no less than 5 variations, it has to be for piano, and you must include 2 other keys: one minor, one major. Deadline is whenever. Enjoy!(Note: I also will be competing. Mwahahahaha!)Judges:1. Stirling_Radliff2. OmarSanchez3.Competitors:1. ccolson392. Sonataform3. DanJTitchener4.

March 3, 201412 yr Hmm... tempting. I'll let you know my final decision in a few hours / days / weeks / whatever....
June 30, 201411 yr Author Changed deadline to July 15 because Sonataform is judging his competition's entries.
July 1, 201411 yr Hmm.. this is a competition which I'm tempted to enter!I had another set of variations in mind, but I shall take up this challenge first. Beware my stubbornly classical submission.
July 16, 201411 yr Changed deadline to July 30 because of the lack of submissions. Thanks, I haven't been able to work on mine yet. A further two weeks should give me enough time!
July 16, 201411 yr Oops... I forgot about this completely. I'll also do my best to submit something by the deadline ;)
July 16, 201411 yr After this competition, if enough people participate and enjoy it, what about a general variation competition?People could pick the theme/s they want to write for. Just an idea :)
July 16, 201411 yr Author That would be a good idea. Too bad I'm learning that I don't like variations form too much :P
July 25, 201411 yr How's everyone's variations coming? I've got at least 5 variations, but my piece just doesn't seem complete yet.
July 26, 201411 yr Author I have about two half-baked variations and I'm testing out ideas for the next one. I'm titling mine "5 hilariously short variations".
July 27, 201411 yr I have about two half-baked variations and I'm testing out ideas for the next one. I'm titling mine "5 hilariously short variations". Sounds good, since you're in charge of the competition don't feel obligated to keep the deadline as far as I'm concerned. ;)
July 27, 201411 yr Author Sounds good, since you're in charge of the competition don't feel obligated to keep the deadline as far as I'm concerned. ;) Actually more obligated, believe it or not :P
July 31, 201411 yr Author Sorry guys, but I'm going to have to withdraw. I can now confidently say that I hate variations form! :P
