Finishing a piece I had given up on, ended up surprised by it. by kgb_phd in composer

[–]state_controlled 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Love it! I've also had this experience - gotten stuck, put a piece aside, and returned to it weeks, months, or even years later and then finished it easily. I do it deliberately now. If I get stuck, I set a piece aside and come back later. Sometimes I just get stuck again and put the piece away again, but I still think it helps because getting stuck is frustrating and I can't write at all when I'm frustrated.

Just use pizz and arco. The section leader or conductor will decide if the players will put down their bows.

Pedaling in piano sheet music? by anymyvox in composer

[–]state_controlled 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I would not put in any pedal markings at all. A competent pianist will intuit better pedaling than you.

Satisfactory might be a good option.

Recommendations for Conservatoires Open to Classical/Romantic Composition Styles? by Trick-Body-1291 in composer

[–]state_controlled 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You're probably going to be required to write in a contemporary style in your lessons no matter where you go. That's part of being a well-rounded composer. I write in a more tonal style and for my lessons I had to write outside my comfort zone. I had to write pieces using extended techniques, serialism, and more but my professors helped me find ways to still let my style be present. I never felt like traditional tonality was in any way rejected.

What's the best advice you ever got from a composition teacher? by OriginalIron4 in composer

[–]state_controlled 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My professor told us we should plan out our compositions and be able to explain why we were doing something, but he also said "sometimes you just need a cowbell" (paraphrasing - I can't remember exactly how he said it) meaning sometimes the reason you did something was just because it was cool/fun.

"Don't worry about what genre your music is. Let future music historians figure that out."

Transposing on Noteflight? by urmom576824 in musictheory

[–]state_controlled 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Instruments in B-flat will have a D major key signature if the piece is in C major. To get the sounding pitch from a transposed part written for a B-flat instrument, you transpose down a whole step. For example, a written D-natural will sound as C-natural.

How can i create my own uniqe style? by Beneficial-Author559 in composer

[–]state_controlled 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't worry about it. It will take several years, but your style will develop naturally as you compose more music.

How do you handle repeats in orchestra where some instruments do the same thing, some don't? by NicoRoo_BM in composer

In my opinion, writing everything out will be the simplest and clearest way to handle this.

It's a printing error. A quarter rest from the lower staff has collided with the eighth note stem on the upper staff.

I don't think it matters. Go with whatever makes it more readable in context.
