Supposed there was a "trick" how to compose great works, then one could make a computer programm, that produces one symphony alla Haydn/Beethoven/Schubert/Brahms after the other. But I can't see such a program anywhere.
In music, the opponents are tedium and boredom
I heard on the radio a fake Mozart concerto made by a computer program... I think this is the same guy:https://www.icnm.org/research/reviews/cope1.htmlhttps://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/240642.stmYes, and at the other extreme - incoherence.
I'd like to hear your composing experiences; how do you compose and what techniques do you use?
There are some basic principles in respect to scales, intervals, consonances, dissonances, chords etc.
Thanks for your answers - they are very helpful Again, I'm not an experienced pianist, and I only know a little about these principles. It would be great if someone could give some examples of these principles, and maybe even a link or a title of a book, where this is explained more deeply.
Hi...I guess most people have tried composing their own music - and that they never even succeeded making an intro. I'm one of these people. Several times I've tried to compose my own music, but I haven't been able to make it fit together yet.I'm not very experienced, I've only played for 2½ years - maybe that's why!?Though I do believe that there is some kind of technique to compose simple music with bass and treble!? Of course do some people have some kind of inborn talent - but composing isn't only done by talent!? I guess that you have to know a thing or two about harmonies, and that a part of the composing process is having a good grip of this.There's nothing wrong with my creativity, I'm able to play a certain homemade song / tune in my head, but I can't find the tunes on the keyboard. I know that a lot of composers don't use a piano while composing, but simply just write the sheets at a table! I can't imagine doing that - as I said, I'm able to have a tune in my head, but I would not have any idea of where on the paper to put the ink. So...I'd like to hear your composing experiences; how do you compose and what techniques do you use?
you need vivid imagination. that's it.scriabin had it, for sure
The thing is is that there are no secrets to composing. Either that or Mozart and Bach are just not telling. .
