  1. Talent without refinement and business skills is like a nice car without an engine: It looks nice but gets you nowhere.
  2. 50 short masterpieces are better than one mediocre long work. Webern's complete works can be performed in one sitting, and he's considered one of the most important composers of the 20th century. I've written seven miniatures and I've learned a great deal from all of them.
  3. Although I'm not a fan of a good majority of his music (as with that of most baroque composers), I find his work invaluable for contrapuntal and formal study (as Haydn and Mozart did in their day). However, I do find often myself humming some of the more tuneful numbers from some of the more popular cantatas.
  4. The stagger bowing is pretty common practice for sustained notes and slow passages; it will be done unless you specify that it should all be in one bow. Necropost, but I don't want that left unsaid.
  5. Then I will google that program as soon as my crap laptop finishes its temper tantrum. Of course, it may take me forever to clean up the score enough to make it legible without using massive pages.
  6. If I could post the score in PDF format, I would (not that it would be legible anyway), but being asked to do something that I simply cannot do is very frustrating. When the computer on which I have this piece on is working again, I will link to a scorch file, but that is the very best I can do. However, if someone who has Sibelius and the capability to make the PDF file, I'd be very appreciative.
  7. What I meant is that I naturally put similar keys together without giving it a second thought. I CANNOT make a score in the PDF format, and thus I WILL NOT provide a PDF. Please stop asking for it because I have no Acrobat distillers on any computer that I have access to, and I do not own a copy of Adobe CS, nor do I plan on purchasing the rediculously overpriced suite or anything else from Adobe in the forseeable future.
  8. Unfortunately, I cannot provide a PDF, as my computer has no PDF distiller, and if I did, the score would be pretty messed up. This movement is actually designed to be simple harmonically and melodically. It is consistently major (happy for the F and C major and pensive for the Ab major). The concerto is in two parts: Part one is the first two movements in F and Ab major, happy and pensive. Part two is the rest (either one or two movements) which will be dark and pessimistic. Where did you hear the polytonality? It's possible that it's there since I often put keys like F and C or D and A together without thinking.
  9. I really like it. I like the Bell Carol ostinato, and the transitions from carol to carol.
  10. After having some problems with the download, I re-uploaded the piece. This is a rewrite of my cello concerto. Cello Concerto in F Major Here's a link to the old version: Old version
  11. I've added the entirety of the first two movements.
  12. This is the first two movements of my second string quartet. The first movement has a slow D minor intro, followed by the quick main theme in D flat Major. The slower second movement is also in D flat Major, and moves between 6/8, 8/8, 5/8, 4/4, and 3/4 time. For the most part it is arpeggios. Tell me what you think! Quartet No 2 Intro.mid Quartet No 2 i and ii.sib Quartet No 2 i and ii.mid
  13. The score is still too messy to put up, and box doesn't seem to want to upload it. Its actually a xylophone, not a marimba.
  14. Ok i just added the second and third movements out of four.
  15. I'm not so much of a fan of the mixolydian mode, but I like A flat major, too. (Also, saying you prefer atonality to any key is a valid answer!)
