August 13, 201411 yr G'day fellow composers, I've recently composed a new piano piece and unfortunately, my theory has gotten really rusty as of late because of some life circumstances. Could any one point me in the right direction to getting some quick tips and stuff for this? Should I just go and look up some published scores? My main issue is the placement of dynamics, articulation and stuff like that. I've got notes, ties and slurs nailed down, but heck everything else has just escaped my mind right now. If any one wants to have a look at the score, I've got it down in Sibelius 5. Just ask Cheers in advanced
August 13, 201411 yr As in proper notation for dynamics and such? Definitely look at some published scores, but here is an official style guide from a group of the big music publishers from a few years back: http://icking-music-archive.org/lists/sottisier/notation.pdf
August 13, 201411 yr There are style guides available all over the internet. There are even more style guides available for purchase. There are exponentially more free scores available for study. I get tired of seeing people ask questions on here that can easily be resolved by a quick google search and a very small amount of personal research.
