Loved the pizzicato part. The overall sound is (like Dane Auburn said) very pleasant. I could imagine it in a game like the Sims or another easygoing game. The repetitiveness made me tune out a few times so I feel like if there were some…"

Are you using sibelius default sounds? It sounds great, maybe because of the clear composition. "

A delightful piano composition - Peacherine Rag
Posted on December 9, 2014 at 12:47am 0 Comments 0 Likes
I started composing because of the music in the movie "The Sting" - the ragtime of Scott Joplin. His music is not only great sounding, but a fun fit fit for the fingers - physically enjoyable to play. Here's a piece which was not in The Sting, but which is a delightful example of his work - about 3 minutes long -

Another composer has posted recently on the forum about a piece he wrote inspired by French music which is about fountains. I won’t post this on his thread, which is about his composition, but thought you might enjoy it - ragtime composers liked to compose on this theme too, and one of my favorites in this genre is a piece written by a guy named Robert Hampton called “Cataract Rag.” (Cataract is a synonym for Waterfall). The middle section (starting at about 1:50) particularly is delightful…

Hi all,
Joe Wall is a Baltimore composer who does interesting things. I once got to see a multimedia presentation of this piece by him, about how, as a small child, he mused on the satellite program. I've never forgotten it. I find it meditative and hypnotic. I've been looking for it for years online and finally found it. The last few words spoken I particularly find affecting. Hope you like it.…

And how do I delete the pdf ?
- At 10:24pm on October 22, 2018,
Gav,
I am confused. How do I add music?
How do I access it when it is loaded?
I loaded a .pdf and an .mp3 and wanted to add some comments for the public, but it only allowed me to enter the composer. How do I add comments to my work ?
Now I can't figure out how to access what I loaded again ?

Gav,
I work in MuseScore and would like to post my work in .mscz format.
If not, then at least in a .pdf.
But it appears I can only post an .mp3
Am I missing something?
Also, is there anything I need to do to protect copyright ?
