Which post do you want to delete? Henry

Still there are around three weeks’ time to submit entries. Maybe you can make a fifth entry! Henry

Sometimes it's not about your skills, it's more about whether the judges' taste is similar with yours and your work's skill level can still be very high even if they think it's not good enough to advance to the next round. I think of winning any prizes more like a chance event, just like having job interviews haha. Keep going and you will for sure pursue what you want! Henry

Hey Vince, It’s a long time since I review anything so here’s the first one! (I’m still going on with the hiatus though since I’m revising my Clarinet Quintet, listening orchestral music and will write the Orchestral Variations on Peter’s theme tho.) I like how you combine the dreamy dissonance with counterpoint technique here. I love b.3 of the subjects as it’s already containing two voices in a line and it kinds of reminds me the sighing motive of the Kyrie subject of Bach’s Mass in B minor. Motivically you make use of all the motives from the subject for coherence and economy in episodes which of course come from Bach! My favourite spot of the piece comes in the D flat major passage, it definitely is your voice there, I love your harmony! Also, only by analysing in order to play your fugue did I notice a sneaky quasi subject augmentation in b.28 so I bring it out myself. I also love the ending myself, as it’s in F sharp minor which sadness kinds of reminds me my own F sharp minor fugue in the Sextet =.= I don’t follow all the pedals and dynamic instruction you tediously write, sorry for that 🤪, for example I add pedals in b.33 to make it more dreamy, b. 29 I probably played forte instead of mp since I thought I fell the passion there, etc. Only one thing I would suggest on the scoring is that, I would use the same beam direction for a voice especially for subject entry. For example I would use an upward beam for the first F# in b.5 to indicate the subject, and turns the A and G# into a downward beam. In b.14 I would turn the D downward and C# upward, since it is the C# that’s in the subject, not D. But these are just nitpickies. It’s fun to play this, and thx for sharing this! Henry

Never heard of Twinmelody! Henry

Do we have to pay to know the ending this time? 🤑😜

It's Organum tho lol! The only term makes me laugh is "Contemporary Music" lol.

My String SEXtet must make you laugh lol Henry

You should be our ambassador for gif badges haha.

Reading the title of this thread I have a few seconds of terror that you're leaving the forum, thank God you don't! Congrats on your works being used in films! Henry

I am shocked that you said you are not an orchestration expert! You definitely are an expert for me with your ochestral works posted here! Henry

@chopin haha

I had this doubt long time ago for tying around 16 times or so and all lost lol.... Later just figure out the seniority rule myself haha Henry

I really love the new feature of showing the views of a pdf file. Also the vintage brown color is back! Really love it. Henry

We already have "Counterpoint Wizard" badge for it! I myself receive it twice lol! We have the badge "Amorous Romanticist" for it, though no one ever receives the badge lol! What is featured in an outstanding Prokofiev writing lol? Only @Thatguy v2.0 himself can be better than himself until Thatguy vUlimited.0 lol Henry
