nice thread Anders, I'll give them all a listen and vote tomorrow, but from the few I've heard in the other thread, the standard seems high :whistling:

You forgot Jeremy's. :unsure:

Jeremy has withdrawn from this competition, unfortunately.

Why, he realized his piece sucked? jk :unsure:...He was probably frustrated with all the disorder.

Jeremy has withdrawn from this competition, unfortunately.

That stinks, his was the best.

Hmm.. well. I thought his submission was impeccably crafted, but quite boring.

I'm going to go for either the logical fallacy, or the celesta sonata.. Let's see..

Please change my vote to Ralph's piece ( <- an very interesting piece by a composer that seems to have lots of potential to break forth this new style of music I forsee for the 21st Century). Anyway, I made an error. Please do this ASAP. Thanks.

Mike, could you help me here? :whistling:

PS: Ca, just be aware that it will say you've voted for nothing. But the vote will be changed.

This poll will be run for 1 week.

Here's the link to a recording of Ralph's piece on my Bosy just for your info. Only in Mp3, though, sorry. Tell me if you like the revised ending.

3rd - Sonata For Celesta and Sonata in G sharp minor with 1 vote each

Congratulations to Ralph! :)

Well done Ralph.

One thing, the sonata in G sharp minor actually got two votes, because CreationArtist's (Matt's? Is that right?) vote doesn't show up except when you click on the number of votes.

Matt requested to have his vote changed to Sonata in G minor. :)

I know, but you didn't count his vote when you posted the results.

It's nothing really, Ralph wins anyway...

Thank you, guys :) I'm delighted. And thanks to CreationArtist for his recording of my piece, which is much better than the midi file.

Hopefully more people will review my other works now ;-)

Yes I did. It just doesen't show up when you click view poll. you'll see there's 10 votes, but only 9 people are listed as having voted. vBulletin is a bit annoying when it comes to changing votes.

Ah, ok, I got confused:wacko:

Congrats Ralph:)

Congratratulations, Ralph! I personally liked the contrasting themes, and development of your piece the best. :)

Posting MP3s of submissions is a good idea. I'll post a recording of mine also soon.

So what's the deal with this month?

I think it would be pretty cool to have this month be a chamber music type thing... just a suggestion :)

We won't be running a monthly competition for April because the Symphonic Competition deadline has just passed. Once that's over and done with, we'll try to arrange something for May.

Maybe we can have a slightly more ambitious competition for May and start a couple of weeks early. --say a piano concerto movement.

Let's do a chamber music competiton. How about a string trio competition?
