Hello! There is my work. It uses our national dance song and opens its dark side of angry and mindless dance

Entry:National Dance

Average Score:9.6 Very Good

Hi @Dima!

I quite enjoy this furious dance full of tone cluster. The energy here is very apparent to be sensed. Although I would say, this piece doesn't fit very much as a Halloween competition piece with the folk quality in it.

I think this piece is for solo instruments? So, the div. in b.5 1st Violin and b.22 2nd violin and Viola, tutti sign in b.78 1st violin would not be applicable. Also, the division of voice within an instrument would not be applicable, and this will for sure deduct points for scoring/engraving. 

I would hope there will be more varieties in harmony, as this piece more or less grows on the tone cluster of the dissonant minor 2nds. I would hope to have more passage stepping away from that dissonance, so it will provide contrast! I love the contrast you bring in b.119 meno mosso section, and I hope that you will extend that section longer before returning to the furious dance!

Also, how would the tone cluster in b.30 and 199 played for the pianist? I am eager to know!

Thx for joining the competition!

Henry
