Alex Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 I think I might try to write something for this, since I haven't written ANYTHING since the Film Competition. No promises, though - my lack of inspiration lately has been very persistent!EDIT: Would a piano duet be acceptable? I've been wanting to write another one, and this seems like a good opportunity. You'll have to PM Matt (CreationArtist) about that. Though he'll most likely just say piano solo only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CreationArtist Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 Sorry, that'll be for a later competition. ..I really should get started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitchell Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 Here's mine. I'm not sure if it's Rhapsody-y enough. But It's contrasting. So whatever. It strays away from my usual style which is a good thing. 00PianoRhapsodyX_X.mid 00PianoRhapsodyX_X.nwc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anders Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 My score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johannhowitzer Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Ah well, maybe I won't. Maybe I will. Taking all bets! But I do have some vague ideas floating around in my head, and goodness knows it's been forever since THAT happened... By the way, who can guess the composer I have as my avatar? I don't think I've used this one before; in the past, it was a dragon or a picture of Stravinsky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 I always thought it was Schostakowitch, but I never checked or paid any great attention to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest CreationArtist Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 So far I like Mitch's the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 I think mine is the best. Yeah. Me too. I liked yours more than Austin's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CreationArtist Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Lol :P Not very much tonal control if any whatsoever. ^ No offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anders Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 I'm not a fan of ''tonal control'', mate. I prefer a different aproach. Idiot. Anyway, I decided my previous entry wasn't rhapsodic enough and had some time.. So I wrote a new one. Disregard my previous entry, please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest CreationArtist Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 "The piece does not have to incorporate atonality/bitonality, but must flow well from idea to idea, incorporate much tonal control (although letting loose with dissonances is allowed and sometimes encouraged), and have a sense of improvisation."

Guest Anders Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Define ''tonal control'' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CreationArtist Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 I mean the piece must make tonal sense. It can't just be a jumble of random dissonance and then a bar or two in actual keys, then right back to nonsense. I'm not putting down atonality (although I'm not a big fan), I'm just stating requirements. Most rhapsodies make tonal sense. By the way, Alex, your rhapsody sounds like the beginning of Brahms' Op. 119 rhapsody, the one in Eb :unsure:. --Just the first couple bars.

Mitchell Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Anders' music NEVER makes me want to kill myself. That what my music is for. Killing people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CreationArtist Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 I edited that little bit out, because it was one notch away from that level. --not quite that absurd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anders Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 I mean the piece must make tonal sense. Again, define ''tonal sense''. My piece makes very much tonal sense to my ears. It sounds like you're judging this from a classical point of view. Are you? How is that fair? It can't just be a jumble of random dissonance and then a bar or two in actual keys, then right back to nonsense Idiot. You just lost your credibility. Most rhapsodies make tonal sense, meaning you can follow them without wanting to commit suicide. Well, my counteragument to that is... Plz die. :unsure: So there.

It sounds like you're judging this from a classical point of view. Are you? How is that fair? No, I'm trying my best to find any way at all to hear this piece as more than just dissonance and pppp-ffff-pppp-ffff. EDIT: Also, it's not a matter of opinion. A piece either makes tonal sense (as in keys, modulation, and the like) or it just doesn't. Idiot. I see you fell for the way I formatted the score. I didn't even look at the score. Well, my counteragument to that is... Plz die. :unsure: So there. Well, my counter-counterargument is that you couldn't even think of a counterargument because you knew that most rhapsodies do make tonal sense and if you understood that, you'd understand that yours doesn't, and also how one might have a hard time while listening to your jumble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
