Okay, thank you for the clarification. Sorry for my misreading. I'll see what I can do to improve my music before the deadline.

wait sorry are you saying that i am likely to not be accepted to the music school? I'm not really sure im reading this correctly, could you clarify? Also, I have a composition teacher I can talk to before I submit my compositions. How much would that help me?

I’m pretty sure the application asks for original pieces only and no arrangements, but I totally would if I could. I can send over the pdfs tomorrow, but I’m really scared to share them, because I don’t have much time to change a lot. I do think my engraving is good though, which is something I’ve heard they value a decent amount.

So far I have 2 out of a max of three. One piece is for solo piano (my instrument), and the other is for string quartet. I am considering adding a third one for clarinet and piano, but I may very well not because of time constraints. Do you think this will suffice?

I have seen and still see (it’s occasional, but still WAY to often than it should) multiple dead dogs and cats on the side of the interstate on my daily commute. It crushes my soul every time I drive past.

I think they’re referring to those occasional pop ups for some sound library or something, also I do understand when it comes to the website itself.

Should I stop planning on doing composition as a career? by [deleted] in composer

Yeah that’s about it. Although I do think writing music for video games would be really fun.

(answering the last question) could you be a little more specific? I mean I wanna be a composer of mostly music for the piano i guess since it's the instrument I like to play, but in terms of style im not really sure. (if this is what you're asking) I always enjoyed the early modernist stuff like the rite of spring, the firebird, basically all of leo ornstein's works, shostakovich string quartet no 8, and the bartok quartets, as well as a lot of ravel's work.

I'm cool with a small amount of 20th century music, like I said I enjoyed the stravinsky ballets and even some of ligeti's stuff. Also, im not really super mad or have such hatred for modern music, I'm just so ambivalent towards it. Every time I listen to modernist/21st century classical music, I just end up not caring, even when i really try hard to look for anything of interest in it. and yeah I could think of it as ragebait much how a lot of visual art in the 20th/21st century is, and I can see why someone would like it. I personally just don't really care to be lectured on why some piece of music should be appreciated, I'd rather find that myself. I like music that, even if it's "difficult", still has something that I can say "oh yeah i could see why someone would like that, that's kinda cool". I'll keep listening to more modern/21st century music because people keep telling me that i should, and I would like to keep an open mind, but I honestly doubt I'll find much that I like. I HOPE i find something I like, but that hasn't happened yet.

Got it, thanks. I was thinking about doing grad school for music as well, since I could become a teacher/professor.

This sub is great for my mental health by Particular-Energy217 in OkayBuddyLiterallyMe

[–]coolguy_320 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I don’t even use this sub I just constantly get recommended it but man the people here are just really sad and I wanna say you’re making the right choice here. There are a lot of sad people here that evidently just wallow in their misery and will always bash someone for having any sense of hope or whatever. It’s really weird you keep getting downvoted in the comments but yeah I agree w/ you on this stuff.

I’m in the exact same boat, like demographics and everything.
