March Competition Submissions Thread (V.2)

[Rafn]

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

I think that a concerto competition would be just as hard as the symphonic competition and should not be in the monthly competition category.

[ImperialScouts]

Again, he was saying that because he's working on one :P

[Dirk Gently]

Er, that was actually ME posting there, I was on my brother's computer :P....

[Mitchell]

I've been asking since I've joined to have a concert band competition.

:)

Just a suggestion.

[Guest CreationArtist]

How about a keyboard sonata competition ;) Maybe we can create a schedule of competitions for every month of the year and never have to poll or discuss for days on end what to have next. Also, since I missed this competition, I can participate in the next keyboard sonata competition (If we decide to have this schedule made up, then in March).. we may even want to have six competitions a year and then repeat the same for the second half?

What are your thoughts?

[Mitchell]

Was there not already a sonata-type competition?

They can't all be the same.

That's dumb.

How about a March competition?! ;)

[Guest CreationArtist]

I didn't say they would all be the same...................

Mike dealt with that issue a few pages back.

[Guest CreationArtist]

We should make a schedule for what type of competition we have for each month. That's all I said.

[Mark]

I disagree. What would be the advantages?

[Guest CreationArtist]

No arguments and people know which months they would like to play, (i.e. plan for those months, etc.).

[Guest Nickthoven]

brass quintet!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[violinfiddler]

String trio. Let's vote.

[Mitchell]

OOooo. Brass quintet's a good idea.

[ralphb]

string trio is cool!

[TheMeaningofLIfe]

Jazz Band

[Mitchell]

I don't think so.

It appears that a lot of people here have an irrational fear of brass and saxophones.

Not me though, I'd gladly try out a Jazz Band.

[Guest Anders]

Brass quintet... challenge. Yes.

[Guest Nickthoven]

I see a lot of string and piano writing here...let's try a brass quintet! (2 trumpets, horn, trombone and tuba)! I might even be able to get a piece or two played!

[Guest Anders]

You mean your piece(s)..? Or the winner(s) of the competition? :D

[Mike]

The winner, I assume. :)

Brass quintet sounds good. Out of the ordinary, at least in comparison to the rest of the competitions we've run, and fairly small scale, so doable inside a month. Any further affirmations/objections?

[Daniel]

I think go for it.

I may even write something for it (probably not, but maybe).

[Mark]

I might actually try this, I'm useless with Brass but that's something I intent to change.

[bob_the_sane]

I'll have a go at this, if I get the time. I'd love a jazz contest for another month. I know robin would pwn all comers, but it would be fun.

[violinfiddler]

I'm against it. But oh well. brass quintet?
