Guest Anders Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 I thought; what the heck! Let's get another one going! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Young Composers's Solo Piano Competition Make variations on 1 or more theme you've created yourself. The only instrument used will be ONE piano. Anyone who wants to judge can just sign up in this thread. Judges can't take part in the competition, of course. Judges will give 1 score from 1 to 10, and write some comments, suggestions, and constructive criticism of minimum 5 lines. The composers shouldn't release their material before the deadline. Post your composition on the day of the deadline, being December 10th. The composition is allowed to be difficult, but not impossible. You won't get less marks for composing something that is extremely hard to play. But yeah, it shouldn't have rolled 20-note chords in 16th's at a tempo of 220 or something... Compositions should be submitted either in Finale format (*2005 OR EARLIER*) + midi file , Sibelius format + midi file , Pdf fprmat + midi file No MP3's please, We want everyone to have an equal chance, and everything sounds better in MP3, also; some people may not be able to download too many MP3's. The composition can be as long or short as you want, but with a minimum of 5 variations. ----------------------------------------------- CONTESTANTS Lord sorasen M4 Mahlon Chris Shaver Bach88 Nichtoven High markander Chad dream eyes Eldeni ABWLTPG dreams87 nonne JUDGES Maestro Akhil Gardner piano_player18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Sorasen Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 MUAHAHAHA! Sign me up, yo. I'm no good, but I have a piece I can use. So, its Sept 15th? That makes no sence. And, ummm... About the piano, does it have to be the normal piano? Can we use a stranger varyation of piano, such as honky tonk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J. Lee Graham Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 Letehn, I know you couldn't possibly have meant September 15, since it's past...and October 15 is only four days away! Kindly, what is the real deadline????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anders Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 Heheh.. T'has been fixed, December 10th is the real deadline. I'm quite ecxited about this, should be a real pleasure to judge. Will YOU be honoring me with your participation, by any chance? Originally posted by Lord SorasenSign me up, yo. I'm no good, but I have a piece I can use. So, its Sept 15th? That makes no sence. And, ummm... About the piano, does it have to be the normal piano? Can we use a stranger varyation of piano, such as honky tonk? You have a piece you can use? Is this piece a solo piano piece in theme and variations form, with at least five variations? And no, the only instrument used will be ONE PIANO. That means a piano/pianoforte/instrument you can play both forte and piano on/ that instrument J.S bach regarded as barbaric. If your piece meets these criteria, you may submit it! So there! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Nickthoven Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 I guess I'll see what I can do for this. Hopefully I'll get a better start than the Ragnorak thing, which completely flopped. I remember doing this once before, and writing a piece of crap! But count me in anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jared Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 Any judging criteria? I may just sign on as a judge, but with like 10 contestants that could be a ton of work, plus I'm not a terribly good judge in the slightest... hm. Depending on the criteria, I may judge.
