"This could have fitted into the film score of La la Land (particularly at 00:35, Sebastian's Theme); I guess this was deliberate as well...?"

"Ehm, that's like nearly 40 hours worth...?!"

"If it is of any use, here my notes: A little too repetitive for me after the first 30 seconds, which were “wow”. I feel that is always a bit of a risk in casting Irish tunes into a classic structure, without making them sound a bit…"

"What a decisive win for Nancy Tucker, congratulations! I was amazed by the enormous diversity of pieces, from the minimalistic to the elaborate, from the traditional to the experimental, from the serious to the LOL character and from the choice of…"

"I, personally, like musical jokes.This piece is somewhat more a visual / self-experience joke, rather than a real musical contribution as such, I suppose. The duration is fine, just right - in the UK everyone is advised to wash hands for 20 seconds…"

"Hello, if you are keen to listen to a collection of international arrangements of folk- or childrens' songs, have a look here: https://www.carl-orff-competition.com/en/contest/vote Of course you could vote as well (I am somewhere in the lower…"

"Hello again, thank you very much, yes, I found it on ebay for £3.50 (including postage!). It looks good at first sight: little text but loads and loads of practical examples. This is likely to be helpful. Thanks again - happy for further…"

"@Dane and Jörfi (and others): your favourites (e.g. books, online etc.) for Harmony and Counterpoint, or other resources (for relative beginners) would be very welcomed here...! (please) Of course, there is plenty out there, and the appeal or…"

"People could reveal themselves (if they so wish), if they got it "right". Perhaps ask again after the results are out."

"What a fascinating discussion regarding the tonal / atonal differences etc., particularly for me, in my still early stages of being an amateur - as well as a beginner!! There is the famous saying, that you "really should learn the rules, before…"

"Ali, here it is: https://soundcloud.com/brazealnut Fully agree with your comment regarding the need for a meaning in the work. One could say, very simplified, that a professional is, when compared to an amateur, more often and more consistently able…"

"I am sorry if anyone felt offended or provoked by what I said. I challenged the proposal that there is a definite rule for or against the option to vote for oneself, if one so wishes. We can agree or disagree on that. I seem to be in a minority with…"

"I think we are all mature enough to be able to look at our own piece of work with some fresh eyes (and ears) in the context of the collection of submissions here, and then make a judgement - not just stay fully attached to our own "baby",…"

"That's exactly why I said "amateur", as Jörfi clearly is not a "beginner". I, too, have heard rather awful anecdotes about Hans Zimmer and his work ethics, which appear to be very, very traditional (i.e.…"

"Hmm, careful not to "belittle" or dismiss the effort of Gav and everybody here...  After all, it is a 'competition', and therefore has, almost by default, a certain degree of significance. You can take it with a relaxed and…"
