I've made a million and a half changes to the rough sketch of my symphony that I uploaded a couple months ago... I'll upload it in a day or two! :)

Hmmm... I'd have to say Fantasia as well! ;)

I like seeing that nominees are still voting for other nominees... good sportsmanship guys! :) -
A couple people made this list a lot of times!

The first movement of my 1st symphony took me a month to write, but now I have TONS of work to do with it. Lots of orchestration to change and fix, because I rushed a lot of it. The good thing is that I have a composition teacher who gave me a lot of advice, so it's gone from one month to about 5, and still many more for sure. And that's just the first movement!

Favorite Piece Of Music Written In Your Birth Year

I was born too late.. Tchaikovsky, Beethoven, R. Strauss, and Stravinsky were already dead :/ -
No problem! I look forward to seeing how you apply this in the future!

Actually, it is a piece of music. Music is the combination of sounds, including silence, for the purpose of pleasure, entertainment, etc. Therefore, 4 minutes and 33 seconds of silence is still a piece of music.

I think that it is definitely a piece of music! Rests are just as important in music as notes, and they make a statement that is just as big as notes themselves. However, I think that Cage's intentions were for the listeners to listen to their environment for 4 minutes and 33 seconds and realize that there is art in some form all around them, no matter where they are.

Ravel's slaw, I tried this this morning while practicing and was able to transition from harmonic to normal note without an obvious change in sound. However, transitioning from a normal note to a harmonic causes a break in the sound. The sound doesn't change enough for a dramatic effect, but with vibrato, could be used for something interesting!

I know that I cannot change from harmonic to a normal pitch without having an obvious change in sound, but I think that some professionals might be able to, or maybe a very high quality string instrument. It would be super awesome if I could though!

To What Extent Do You "plagiarize" Your Own Works?
violinboy1996 replied to luderart's topic in Composers' Headquarters
I've done this several times in my compositions. Rather than doing it with musical motifs, however, I tend to do it with my favourite chord progressions. I have several complex sequences that have found their way into some of my piano works, as well as two of my orchestral works. I agree with Sojar Voglar on this one... it's our signature. Anybody knows when a piece is Mozart just by the style... the light, elegant style that Mozart so perfectly mastered is part of his signature, just as similar motifs or chord progressions can be signatures of a composers'. -
Tchaik 4 or Tchaik 6?
