gkgyver 1,645 Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 A drumset, by definition, is several individual instruments played together, hence "set". So if a drumkit, which includes like 4 different percussion instruments, is allowed, then you might as well allow 4 different wind instruments. I'd make the rules cleaner and say it's for one individual musician. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jurassic Shark 12,033 Posted December 1, 2020 Author Share Posted December 1, 2020 I'm writing a piece for the piano. I don't think I'll have time to learn it properly, so I'll probably upload it as a midi-file when it's done. For which instrument are you writing?

GerateWohl 4,344 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Piano. And I have no idea how to create a midi file, so I am doomed to perform it. Consider every crooked sound as intended. Jurassic Shark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post GerateWohl 4,344 Posted December 13, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 13, 2020 Ok now. Here it is. Just for the case tat I will not find the time to rework and record it within the next two days. Sound is awful. In is about 4 minutes long and I played it too hard and made at least 4 big mistakes. I am fully aware what I ask of you to listen to this completely. You need a lot of imagination to figure out how this would sound properly played and recorded. But I think, it contains some nice ideas. Anyway, this is as good as I can do it for now. And I am first. Yeah!

Manakin Skywalker 4,891 Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Alright, after 5 minutes I am done. Here is my piece, titled "La belle adlib d'un homme inexpérimenté". It is a 5-minute completely improvised piano piece with Jazz inspiration. Here's the twist: I can't play the piano.

GerateWohl 4,344 Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 I guess you both are right. I was just wondering if composition implies that it is reproducable. When I improvise usually I cannot remember what I did. I might have a chance when I recorded it. But usually it's lost like "tears in the rain".

True, but I suppose you could apply the same argument to a piece of music that was written and recorded, but somehow complete destroyed before it could be distributed. Like for example if a composer wrote a piece of music for a film and before it could be used all of the sheet music was in a studio fire and somehow the tapes were water damaged beyond repair.
