Young Composers' Solo Piano Competition

Hey Mike,

Can I be a judge ??

Akhil G.

Yes you can.

Hi Letehn,

Thanks for that. Now have you decided to learn Waldstein afterall ??

I'll go over the rules of "Critiq-ing" or to be grammaticly correct - "Being a critique"

Akhil G.

Actually, I decided to learn 'Wedding Day at Troldhaugen'' from the grieg lyric pieces. I've also been fiddling with the pathetique sonata.... I'll do those two first.. Then maybe.. ;)

We need even more judges.

:cool: Can I enter toooo?

Yes, welcome to the competition. :glare:

I think that does it, no more contestants. We still need more judges though.

Just giving an update as to how I'm doing on this. I'm about 1/2 done; it is in 2 parts. The first part is done, variating rhythms slowly, like minimalism. The second part will be rhythmically constant, and with much harmonic variation. It is basically a chaconne, as the variations are on a harmonic progression, not a melody. I hope this is ok. :thumbsup:

Also, I will be able to record myself playing this for the final product, as it is pretty easy. Also, if anyone wants, after submissions, I'll try to read other contestant's pieces and record them as well.

I would like to judge. I hope my computer will work for it.

Am I just using judge sheets and listening to the compositions?

I'm going to have to drop out, I have no time to create it! Darn Choir and its want for a piano!!!!!:)

Hi guys, I've actually got a piece I'd like to submit. Since contestant entry is closed, it won't count though and unfortunately I don't have the sheet music since it was recorded; but I'm sure that's fine since it won't count to begin with.

Also, if you still need a judge and think me worthy then let me know, I'd be glad to.

Actually, you are a contestant. :thumbsup:

you can submit your piece here: http://www.youngcomposers.com/forum/Solo-Piano-t1229.html

Whoa; sweet! Thanks Letehn, I'll make sure to post it when the deadline's done!

it has to be at least 5 variations right?, I already have my theme and 2 variations... I doubt I´m going to finish by this saturday, I have no time, and I have a gig that day and we are rehearsing, but I promise I´ll do my best to have it ready.... my final question would be... is it still a minimum of 5 variations?

5 variations

piano_player18 has been added as a judge

could i be removed as a contestant please?

I'm really sorry, but im very busy with exams atm.

Ok, so my submittion is not posted because I just want to clarify that it's allowed. I now have the full score for it and everything so it can be a proper submittion but it's a little on the large side. It's 20 variations...yeah so I got a bit carried away, so sue me. But anywho, as soon as someone comfirms whether or not this'd be allowed, I'll post.

thank you!

Post away!!! :)
