Fall Piano Competition

Ok, I'm in again!!!! o/

I believe melodies to be one of my few strenghts as a composer, so this suits me pretty well. :toothygrin:

This sounds interesting!

Count me in.

Writing the melody is what I love the most about composing

in

oki ....

Ah Ah, I think I will win. I have this awesome melody. I am in! Gonna beat all you guys!

I think I'll give this one a shot. 

Edit: Okay, here's my submission. http://www.youngcomposers.com/music/listen/6768/nocturne-for-bailey-fall-piano-contest-entry/

I'll throw my hat into the ring on this.

What about a minimum length for the piece? Might it be around 1 minute long or less?

Edit: I assume there is no minimum length. So here's my entry:

Okay, so I think we should cover something that hasn't been mentioned yet. Who is going to judge this competition? Will it be Sonataform by himself, or are you (Sonataform) going to assign a panel of judges like some of the previous competitions?

And so far the competitors are:

1). ChristianPerrotta

2). Austenite

3). DanJTitchener

4). Thatguy v2.0

5). Mozartito

6). Mozartinspiration

7). MuseScience

8). bkho

9). luderart

Just trying to help this get a little bit more organized. :)

@Luderart: No minimum time limit, you're good.

@MuseScience: Thanks for making the list of those competing. I'll remain the sole judge in my competitions though and for a few reasons:

1. I like to choose a piece I feel I can interpret as a pianist. 

2. Though I like a good challenge I don't want to be stuck with a piece that's impossible to play.

3. Ultimately the whole competition simply runs smoother.

4. I could think of more reasons but those are basically the most important ones :thumbsup:   

Overall I strive to be a fair judge. I'm just as likely to pick a piece that's super "modern" as I am super "conservative". Those labels mean nothing to me, I simply judge every piece on it's own merits.  

My mantra has always been, "Good music is simply the result of inspiration and hard work."

Done.

Now don't always expect a good recording from me, expect good music.

I hope you like it Sonataform.

i'm a bit late to the party. but i'll join. i have something half finished that's perfect for this. 

I might be able to get something finished. If there aren't too many competitors already?
