It's cool, there will be future competitions  ;)

ok now I realized that I made a mistake in the second tempo of my piece

it has to be 116 (and I have written 100).

Hi have you seen that I had changed my piece?

 

I don't think there's any issue with it, since you're still posting your entry before the deadline.

You may consider this prelude that I recently wrote.

I present the winner of the Fall 2014 Piano Competition. Thanks for everyone who participated, there were a lot of great entries! :)

Wow... what's not to like about this recording??

 

Great job! I'm speechless, you've played it wonderfully! The melodies and nuances were perfectly executed, and it was a pleasure to listen - especially given the very few chances I actually have for live recordings or performances...

 

Once again, thanks for the opportunity - not only for my own sake, but also because it prompted several outstanding works from fellow composers. Keep'em coming!

Congratulations, Austentite! Your piece deserved to win!

I listened to the recording and it was fantastic Sonataform!

Well done!

 

 

Well, now I guess I can break the rule of "The piece cannot already have a live recording, I want to be the first to record it!"

Haha. Time to recording Fine Estate

Congratulations to both performer and composer alike! 

Good for you, Bob. What sort of piano and microphone are you using, sonataform?
