Just a simple piano romance for my girlfriend Julia (for her birthday). Thanks for listening and I hope you enjoy and let me know what you think! A Romance.mp3 A Romance.pdf

Upon further reflection the staff have decided not to allow subsequent entries from the same composer in the competition. This is because it would give the said composer a higher chance of winning a badge/award. In the Christmas Music Event which was not a competition, this was allowed because there were no "winners" (either that or everyone was a winner LoL).

Let us get back to you on that.

Just a reminder to everyone that we have 2 weeks from today to the end of the Landscapes - Soundscapes competition!

@BlackkBeethoven please don't quit writing your piece! Young Composer's Forum should always strive to be a great place for you to receive feedback, guidance and support on any of your musical projects. "Go write a piano piece because you're not ready and need to learn the basics" is not really constructive feedback. Members on YCF should strive to support the composer with whatever project they choose to write, not tell them what to do. We're here to support you in whatever YOU choose to do not what WE think you should do.

Hi @Aiwendil ! I think this is a great and playful scherzo! I don't find the evaded cadences at the end of each section objectionable. The only thing that bothers me is that perhaps, the piece loses some momentum with so many repeats and pauses and stuff. Like, specifically the repeat in measure 127 could be jettisoned imo and the piece would be better for it. Perhaps you could get rid of some other repeats as well to improve the flow of the piece but that particular one made the piece really drag in my listening experience. Thanks for sharing and I'm stoked to hear the whole piano trio!

I deleted it for you.

A musical quote pertaining to Tchaikovsky incoming! It's from "The Misfits" by Colin Wilson: And if you've gotten this far, thanks for reading!

Hi @Bjarke ! Good job making the score look cleaner! I think it really simplifies the look when you write it in 9/8. But you could have applied the same logic to the 5/4 bar as well! You could have written it as a 15/8 bar! Thanks for sharing.

Here's a musical quote from "The Outsider" by Colin Wilson. It features a discussion of T. E. Lawrence, Van Gogh, Nijinsky, Diaghileff, Stravinsky and Debussy. And if you've gotten this far, thanks for reading!
