"I have to say this sems an odd thing to copyright."
"Are you loking for feedback Stefan? "
"Depending on who you ask repetition is either fine, to be admired, or reprehensible and "'easy'". I say repetition has great precedents in classical music and your writing works well within it."
"Ah that makes more sense. So most of the issues are workarounds for you to get sibelius sounding as you would like but you know in real life they wouldn't function the same way. That deals with 90% of my input very nicely.I would not recommend…"
"If this is for live performance then a few issues come to mind which are probably of more use than saying what I think works.Woodwinds: if you have only one oboe and clarinet those parts are not going to make you popular. If you have two or more…"

"Its not a case of "'getting it"' Saul it is very obvious why you chose to include it but it is just a penetrating noise after the fourth instance. Unique is not the same as good or difficult and my advice would be severely…"
"Musicians especially good ones who can sight read anything within reason are expensive. I assume this is where the majority of entrance fees go since most competitions promise either a playthrough to "'test'" the piece or perform…"
"Tim, while I agree that some manner of AI will have a hand in creating fake compositions I don't think it will truly affect the field. There will always be those in need of music happy to use the bland, the obvious and the lowest denominator…"
