You Know what... I think for that - you deserve...

THE EPIC LOL AWARD!!!

Best thing I've seen in a while.    ;D   Please tell me you came up with that yourself!

Also - do you have a bigger image? I think it's worth showing to a couple of musical friends of mine!

This would be a very fun piece to play!  ;D  I wonder what they would do if you played that for an exam  ;D
You can get a bigger image if you click on it (on the right) and then choose open in a new window and then you have that + or - for making it larger or smaller.... or at least that's how it is for me :)

Why ff......Should be fff....     

Nice Concerto..... Commentators "love" them the most....


Great idea and I find it pretty humorous.

Concerto grosso?

Otherwise they'd have to use circular breathing for that piece.

This is quite a flawed composition. Breathing needs to be taken into account! Unless you want to kill your performer, though, heh.

I can't read the "instructions" very well.  Insistendo quasi vespe?  Like wasps?!  And with repeats, no less.

Someone actually had ringing in his ears while sitting near a vuvuzela during a match and had to be sent to the hospital.

Remove the bass clef, and it should look good enough. Also, why use minims, when semibreves make it look less cluttered? Of course, as mentioned, it needs to be fff.

Perhaps this can be expanded into a quartet, or larger.

Oh yes, I thought the vuvuzela produced a B-flat that's an octave lower than indicated on the sheet music?
Bach - Partita No.2
Scriabin - Etude 8/12
Debussy - L'isle Joyeuse
Liszt - Un Sospiro

Goal:
Prokofiev - Toccata

*Bob considers arranging this piece for another instrument but decides all the work involved in transposing wouldn't be worth it.*

Just wait until the musicologists publish dissertations on the subject and then the Historically Informed Performance crowd get to start arguing about recommendations for the use of earlier versions of the instrument to accompany re-runs of past matches.

Fortunately for all those who have had the common sense to avoid watching any of its recent deployments on television, there is a commonality between its range and the venue at which it's been used - i.e. a single pitch on a single pitch.

Best,

So, there is actually a real composition with a vuvuzela in it. Leif Segerstam's Symphony No. 154 was just premiered, and there is reportedly a part for vuvuzela in it. Yes that number is 154. Segerstam currently holds the world record for the most symphonies composed by a single composer.
