 | Hi, I wanted to compose a simple piano piece using Sibelius, which I did. I've uploaded both the audio & the
 score.
 
 Score: 1st page
 
 Score: 2nd page
 
 zebox: 320kbps mp3
 
 Feedback appreciated!

 | he-he, thanks :] I composed it using Sibelius (the PNG files are exports), then exported the MIDI into FL-Studio, and
 used the Edirol Orchestral VST, gave it a little mastering
 and converted it :] Glad you like it!
 
 Pete: no bother, I'm surprised she didn't still have some
 sort of contact-info for you already!

 | Hmm, the main melody is great like usual. Could use better accompanying melodies instead of an obvious round perhaps,
 but still sounded good together.

 | this sounds like a classical composition in essence. 
 i like the ending a lot, in the middle it sort of was at
 rest, nothing really pulled me in there..
 
 but very nice composition, sounds complex arrangement wise
 also.

 | Hmm, yeah, I wanted to pace the piece rather than have it jerk from the original theme into a wild variation: it
 builds from being peaceful and contemplative, with the
 spaces gradually being filled, culminating with the final
 variation, which only briefly touches base on the melody
 before climaxing to a semi-plaintive coda.
 
 Or something :]

 | Great composition as always. This one in particular-- though more technical-- was devoid of any emotional quality, at
 least for me. It's good for a listen or two.

 | Aye, it was just a compositional exercise to get back into practising--I'm hoping to integrate Sibelius into my
 "electronic" music-making to make it more dynamic :] Thanks
 for the listen

 | Actually I listened again and like it much more now for some reason, maybe because I've been listening to this inferior
 track I made for you just now:

 | Hmm, now that I know maybe kids are listening I think next time I'll suddenly burst out in expletives somewhere in the
 middle of the track. The 'expletive' wikipedia entry is
 interesting:
 
 "It is important that you work hard for the exam."
 
 It has no meaning here; it merely serves as a dummy
 subject.
 
 Ah ha ha, fucking evolution-baggage carrying
 biological fucking primates fucking filling
 their sentences with redundant references to their
 fucking biological mating behavior.
 
 For that track I used a supre secret bonus trick. Since I
 have the complete opposite of absolute pitch (however I can
 hum melodies in real time as I imagine them well it seems
 (not chords though probably)) I have to tediously hum each
 note to find out what exact pitch it is (I only learned to
 imagine c major scale notes) while trying to compare it to
 the tones of cheapy modplug piano sounds, so I can program
 into the pattern data. Well, to solve this problem I simply
 recorded a wav of me humming (in note c). Now its really
 easy to find the notes, as I'm comparing to my current
 humming to my own humming sound, so it stands out better if
 the wrong note.

 | I can only hum one melody at a time so any polyphony added on top would make it all muddy from too much symmetry. Thats
 why I take a melody line I already made and raise it an
 octave or something so it stands out by itself even while
 the others are playing. Plus it would be embarrassing and
 sound dumb. Its quite easy to spontaneously mentalize (a
 real word maybe) melodies; just converting to modplug data
 is a pain. I could maybe use melodyne to immediately
 interpret all hums but it mostly sucks, and modplug data
 makes it easy to create polyphony (for one thing melodyne
 completely hijacks all audio so no other audio software will
 work at all while its open).
