That's right! SineQuanon's piece was for some reason not included in the last poll, so i'm including it here. Deal with it. :P

This poll will run for 1 week.

Me love you long time. :P

:P

Oh, SineQuanon's definately! I would have voted for him last time if it had been on the poll.:P

Come on guys, some more votes?

I chose Sine's piece. It's not all that original (very Debussy) and Spc's is very interesting although there isn't really a tonal center. Anders' is nice and also interesting as well, but I personally think Spc's is more original and on the whole better. I chose Sine, because out of all three (Spc's was very good), I think it best represents the purpose of a rhapsody--to take you on a little musical journey with interesting harmonic and rhythmic textures along the way. It wasn't very varied harmonically (except in the second half), but it was still very nice.

Not sure what competition we should have next.

A brass quintet?

In somewhat of a defense, the purpose of the beginning was to emphasize the same clustered harmony, with very slight variations, derived from some sort of modal basis (between B dorian and D lydian, I think B dorian makes more sense) with certain other characters (a C major chord with a suspended aug. 4th and second appears sometimes). The whole point of that was to set up contrasts with the second half, moments like the angry E minor or the tangent in D minor, and then finally the large recapitulation with (gasp!) moving bass lines and a better sense of tonal center. I can't argue with the Debussy influence though, it was definitely in there. ;) Heck, a vote's a vote...

Tight vote, I feel so obnoxious now... I came here after quite a bit of time at Newgrounds where the audio portal is plagued by zero-voters intent on climbing the charts. It becomes a regular habit to take advantage of one's one-vote-per-piece. Sigh... Hands would understand...

A short violin and piano duet confined to a certain style?

EDIT: A fugue!

SINEQUANON IS OUR WINNER. WOOOHOO.

Congratulations :) I'll have to do something..
