Short Piano Piece (PLEASE listen)

Using Sibelius, I composed a short piece for piano,
directly to sheet music... You can view the sheet music
(just have to aut0install a little viewer which is very
useful. as you will be able to view sheet music online), and
then hit play to hear the piece... If you read music, please
study the text, it has some nice sections.

PS, you can print it out also, so you can own a hard-copy of
a paul f savage original! :D

I'm going to print the music, and then record myself playing
it... then I'll release my version and make millions!!!
MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA *cough* *cough* *hack* *vomit*

Sibelius? I have been trying to find this program online and
have not been sucessful. I dont mean to go offtopic but i am
wondering how did you like working with program? Did you
find it to be user friendly and/or stright forward? I'd be
curious to hear your thoughts.

I will take a look at this though

I look forward to hearing you tackle the latter section of
the piece : A good test of your finger agility ;P

do you have a midi/mp3/something? because i don't want to
download whatever it wants me to download.

if I had a recording aparatus I'd give it a go, but alas, I
don't... I'll probably still try and play it though! :)

As long as a person is fairly organised, it is quite
simple to use... the more a person's knowledge of sheet
music, the more you can do.. it really is fantastic... :)

Ok i installed all that jazz and i listened to what you did.
I like that. Did you have previous piano lessons or reading
sheet music? I was watching it as it played and i was
impressed with what i heard.

I am not saying that this is a mind blowing work of genious
but i thought it was a nice little short piece. I think this
with the addition of your other musical talents could
produce some truly fantastic work :)

It really is a very harmless and small download - it's just
a viewer so you can read sheet music. But no, I don't have
the MIDI file or SIBELIUS file uploaded :(

its nice... did you write that or play it... because that
end bit would take a long time to get right, even for my gf
and she's grade 5...

argh, i'll see if she can play it when she gets home, i cant
get that end bit, i was never a wonderful sightreader...

I wrote it in 20 minutes directly in Sibelius, without a
piano or MIDI keyboard or another music package... If you
study it, it's really rather a clever piece with some nice
call and answer and recurrances :)

MY credentials: I have RSM Grade 7 piano, which means I
could teach piano... also, I privately studied composition.

ta for listening :)

I would like to see more of this.

How about a reworking of Cardew's "soon"? Perhaps?

nice piece. I wish I could play piano. The only thing I can
do is rip other people off.

I didn't get a chance to print it out last night but I'll
try tonight and have a go over the weekend. I should be able
to do something though. Grade 7 ain't easy and I got an
honours for that :)

I listened to it, and I liked the melodies, but I couldnt
get the program to play back in piano. it was playing it
back as like a xylophone type sound... kinda cool, but it's
clearly a piece meant for piano, and doesn't really sound
the same with other instruments.

I wrote it using a celeste, which to me sounded nicer, as it
has a kind of music-box feel to it :) Don't worry, it wasn't
your playback malfunctioning ;)

I have just finished a piece for flute with piano
accompaniment, which I think is pretty fab! I'm awaiting
approval at that site, so I'll probably link to it tomorrow
evening :)

It's nice, but i kinda wish it wasn't in midi format. It'd
be cool on an old barely-in-tune school piano i think as a
field recording with some echoey background noise, or maybe
as a real music box like bjork used on some versions of
vespertine tracks. Sounds kinda bjork-ish in the melody
actually, nice and wintry.

hi - thanks for listening - as you may have noticed,
although it is listed as being for piano, the MIDI voice
used is Celeste, which is more the instrument that the piece
is suited for :)
