How much music have you wrote?!
on: February 25, 2013, 03:35:52 AM
This is all I've wrote, some pages are back sided so it would come out to like 40 pages on printed sheets.

Post pics to see who's composed the most.  Better yet, maybe we should have a video composition competition and have a older/virtuoso pianist judge. It would be fun!

Is that whole one composition? or just more smaller ones? If it's one big composition, it's very interesting, because I have never made something as big as you have.
Is there any recording of your compositions? I'd like to listen to it.
Bach-Prelude and Fugue 2
Mozart-Sonata 545
Schubert-Klavierstucke D946 - 1, 2
Chopin-Etude 10/9, 25/12
Liszt-Un Sospiro
Rachmaninoff-Prelude 23/5, 3/2

Fortunately for the mankind, I only wrote a few pieces many years ago while I was a student. Fortunately they remain (and will do in the future) unpublished.

No, but one handwritten page is usually 2 or 3 printed ones. I have an Elegie, my first 3 in the set of rhapsodies; hopefully I will have 24 in all major and minor keys before I die lol. But I've only completed one rhapsody, and am in th middle of two. Other than that I have my 1st Sonata in e flat minor which isn't really the no. 1 lol, I compose them out of order. I have a half dozen various shorter piano works like nocturnes, waltzes, gallop, prelude. My longest piece so far is the sonata which I haven't completed, so far it's like 12 pages

Quick question... Do arrangements and transcriptions count???

After all... You are taking music that already is, but putting it into a new context???

Not as a composition lol. But that's also something good to do
