Jon Brantingham replied to Johan Roeraade's discussion Fantaisie Russe ( for piano)

"Johan, I have to say, this piece is really good. I found the structure to be very clear, and easy to follow, the harmony is great, the melodies are singable, and the overall style to be very coherent. The only improvement I recommend, is continue to…"

"Yes, my phone and my tablet have much better 3d graphics than my laptop. But everything is slower, and I seldom play games."

"but still they can be very, very powerfull, even if the numbers don't look like that. The tablet and smartphone community has seen some impressive 3d graphics lately, and those do require a lot of firepower, I'd say much more than a…"

"I think the point of getting it on kickstarter is they need the funds to get it working. And they can't really show a working app, if it hasn't been built. I know there have been failures on kickstarter. It's a judgement call, and at…"

"It's the same app Bob: http://www.sibeliusblog.com/news/makers-of-music-handwriting-app-video-used-sibelius-and-goodreader-to-create-dramatization/ Obviously you'd expect them to mock-up the possibilities of the app to some…"

"This looks legit. But beware, there are videos out there that are questionable. One ipad app video actually used screen shots from Sibelius. I agree that an app like this is a great idea. But there isn't a tablet out there that has enough fire…"

Jon Brantingham replied to Bernard Duc's discussion Miniature - For piano

"Great piece! I like your philosophy that every note has to be essential. Definitely keep up the good work. Bob, I disagree that every composer tries to make every note essential. It is far to easy with notation software or a good daw, to copy and…"

New kind of iPad notation software on Kickstarter

A friend showed me this yesterday. It is an ipad app, that converts your hand drawn notation to engraved notation. This is something that I've wanted for a while, and I am glad to see it is in development. They are asking for quite a bit of money, but this could be a very good app for those that like to write notation by hand.ThinkMusic iPad App See More

Tyler Hughes replied to Jon Brantingham's discussion Orchestral Work in Eb Major

"Their were good elements and some good orchestration. The moments where you have the first violins go from a middle C to a C 2 octaves above will be a stretch and I would consider changing that. The only main issue I had is that it feels like…"

Kevin Keating replied to Jon Brantingham's discussion Orchestral Work in Eb Major

"Very nice. I particularly like the adagio first 3 minutes. The beginning of the transition is ok, but as Bob said, I'm not sure if both pieces go together without some development. I like the abrupt changes in dynamics in the allegretto. I…"

Jon Brantingham replied to Jon Brantingham's discussion Orchestral Work in Eb Major

"Thanks for the comments. Really for this one, I just wanted to orchestrate something. I feel like I don't do it enough. I probably should have put more effort into the transition. Retrospectively looking at my piece, I feel like I have a long…"

Bob Porter replied to Jon Brantingham's discussion Orchestral Work in Eb Major

"Thanks for posting this. I enjoyed it. And I agree, nice melody. I'm not totally sure the two pieces go together without more preperation and development. I also like to work fast, but some things require more care. Just depends on your goal."
