    When will the next entries be able to be submitted. I just joined yesterday but I am excited to participate in the competitions of the future. Please fill me in on how things are done here as I am confused on the way you submit, when it is due, what the rules are, etc.

    Thanks much in advance!

    Do you love Ludwig Van Beethovens music?
    Does his life-story/music inspire you?
    Can you strongly relate to the emotions on his music?

    Hi etkearne and welcome to TC

    You should check out the group for specifics. Here is a run-through
    http://www.talkclassical.com/groups/...sic-rules.html

    Most probably you will be too late to submit for this round, however if you are a very fast composer and will be ready in time then pm me and I will give you the password.

    Also please feel free to participate in the discussions about the rules for each round, all new ideas are welcome. Mostly we are using instrumentation to limit things, however other good ideas are very welcome as they will make a change.

    Thanks very much for the information. I COULD compose a work by October 2 as I am a very fast composer, but I will just wait so I can see how it works and plays out. I am really looking forward to this.

    I was wondering - what if you write a piece that is not entirely playable?
    Not deliberately (I hope we are all honest here!), but mistakes or not sufficient knowledge of the instruments that you are writing for?
    Shouldn't sending the scores to someone should be an necessity to check proof (I believe to someone who isn't participating, to maintain competence and honesty)?

    Edit: Actually, is there a source where I can understand what are the possibilities of playability of the instruments of the string quartet?

    I would just look up the instrument ranges on Wikipedia (they have a very good and inclusive chart actually) and stick to those. And just use your head as to what the instrument can't do in terms of polyphony and extreme interval jumps at high tempo.

    Given that we have only had 3 entries so far I am going to delay the judging thread being made, and consequently the deadline backwards, provisionally up until tomorrow evening. I am sorry for those who have made the deadline, but 3 entries just seems to be stretching it too far on the thin side. We want more entries not less. There are perhaps issues that we need to deal with.

    Yes, I also think that 5 entries should be a minimum. It makes no sense with only 3. I'm a bit surprized since many people seemed to be interested to participate at this round. Perhaps the monthly event of the competition does not work for long. So you should give at least one more week. Or maybe even two more weeks.

    Yes, I have been thinking that we probably need to change the monthly aspect of this as well. I received a good many people's replies saying that they were going to participate this round, a lot more than 3.

    I'll wait for more people's opinions before actually doing anything I think.

    I have loads of quartets started, but i never finished them because i wasn't happy for them. Writing a string quartet that i like is veyr hard for me. I see what i can come up with this evening.
    Do you love Ludwig Van Beethovens music?

    I am interested to participate in your competition, if you can give two more weeks. Would you please tell me how does it work and when is the deadline?

    I started something recently for string quartet. I think I can have it in a working state within a week.
