melengi Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 is it considered bad form? Plenty of modern masters do it and i think i'm gonna start, transposing instruments are a complete thorn in my side, they slow down my workrate and have often disrupted my train of thought- f**k the haters, c is in, needless transposition is out!

montpellier Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 I see you're from the future. You joined 9th September this year, my pc says it's the third. Welcome to the past! (This was when c major meant something!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JohnGalt Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 I use concert pitch scores mostly because of other people reading my scores. There's a close-knit group of composers here at my school and we pass around our stuff. Most of them don't transpose well. There's nothing wrong with it, a lot of modern composers use only concert pitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

montpellier Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 The "Join date" on the post didn't!! Sheeeesh, I hoped he'd be able to tell me the secret of time travel... Mike's brought him back to 'now' (which will oneday be 9th September...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montpellier Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 I still transpose in final score + use alto and tenor clefs if need be. It's just practice and I'd worry about the powers-that-be treating my scores less than seriously if I wrote all at concert pitch. I'd probably write ensemble scores at concert pitch in treble/bass clefs for this site, tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
