anyways, since benoit let me hold a comp i shall advertise it here:
Theme: tone poem
A) tone poem definition: a tone poem is generally a short orchestral piece that "inspires listeners to imagine or consider scenes, images, specific ideas or moods", but for the sake of this competition im limiting it to solo piano. an example would be paysage (liszt). for reference, you can listen to some of my previous tone poems
B) requirements and timeline: solo piano, no min/max length, due Oct 31st, 2021, 23:59 GMT+8. I will strictly not accept any late submissions
C) submission format: PM me or BC on discord, or use
https://forms.gle/MygMv6rW5zzb6U2b8 D) competition rubric
1) how tone poem is it -- ie how impressionistic are the melodies and accompaniments and how well do they evoke the titular object or thing /35
2) how musical is it -- how good does it sound /35
3) how original is it -- if the motifs and accompaniments are copied from somewhere or bear more than a semblance of inspiration from an existing work, then its unoriginal /25
4) how playable is it -- ie is it humanly feasible to play (ive seen lots of people composing stuff on flat thats humanly unplayable) /5
5) bonus points if you can wow me with your use of innovative musical forms, scales, time signatures, dissonance, etc. /10
Good luck and have fun exploring a new genre!
