    Hi there. 

    I am wondering if you are working on new projects.

    This makes for an excellent chance to trudge out of a composing hiatus. So I hope to be up to the task.

    That's exactly why I did never use recordings as a basis for automatic "scoring". Well, that plus the fact that I am no pianist at all. Anyway, I thank the original poster. I was considering a piano reduction of a choral/orchestral piece as a rehersal tool precisely these days, and found your questions quite useful.

    This kind of discussion belongs to the "Repertoire" section. I'm moving it at once.
  7. Austenite
    I just realized this thread was posted in the wrong place, and moved it to the Repertoire, where it seems to belong.

    Quite possibly - although Lutoslawski has his fine moments to be fair. I seriously believe I can never get tired of Tchaikovsky - but honestly I have to switch from one piece to another, and perhaps find something I haven't heard before from him (don't take me back to 1812!)

    For once, I actually saw a contest before the deadline! I'm a bit rusty now, but will give a long (short) look before taking a chance...

    Glad to see there is actually an active thread.

      Hi, Maestrowick! Glad to be back in touch!

       

      It's been a few tough years, both musically and professionally. But I still have a few tricks in my sleeve...

    Upon request of a fellow YC member, here's the complete Sonata with its three movements. I must admit that the first movement is my personal favorite - but I'll say no more, preferring to stand by for your comments. Thanks in advance!

    Hello Austenite 😁 Long time no see.

      It’s been a lot of ups and downs, to understate it. But life has finally taken a turn for the better, recently. I’ve only been writing music a little in my 4-5 year hiatus. I feel like I’m in a position now where I’m freer to write more music, and listen to more music. It’s really nice. Feels a bit like coming home, in a way! 😀

       

      Glad to see you’re still here, you’ve always added life and energy to the site 😌

      Well, good to see things got better with the years!

      I've not been as active recently, but I am still here, refusing to give up. Just like you, I have not done a great deal of composing recently, but got a couple piano pieces recorded, and even a symphonic piece read by my country's main orchestra, back in 2016.

      Welcome back home! I'd love you to show what you've been up to lately!

      That’s so exciting you got to have piano pieces recorded and work with an orchestra! Good for you, that’s really cool.😊

      in terms of music, I’ve written a few new pieces, which I’ll gradually upload here over time. There’s a new piece under piano solo if you want to check it out.

  14. Austenite
    Its contributors are only as good as their availability. Hopefully I'll be checking up more often.

    Missed it again ...

    @Luis Hernández: thanks for the heads up. I tried to install better sound libraries, but so far I've failed miserably. Perhaps I should stay composing rather than play my hand as a sound engineer @Kvothe: I must commend you for your continued support. Of course, the work is modeled after the Russian master's own takes on Shakespeare. I hope I had a convincing result as well, since Julius Caesar happens to be among my favorite plays. Perhaps the piece is much more complex than other works of mine, but I spared no effort nonetheless.

    It's a pity that none of it ever reached Beethoven himself.
