Let's Vote for our Next Challenge
Hey Everyone!
We have seven wonderful proposals for a new community-driven challenge:
- Women Composers
- Studies - choose your own set by any composer
- Leap Into Spring - find music that in some way evokes or is inspired by the season of Spring
- Pick a Prelude, Any Prelude
- Dance - play music of any level, time, or culture that has the rhythm of a dance
- Music composed after January 1, 2020 (reminder that we all have access through TB to some scores that apply here)
- Music composed after 1900
So, if you choose to vote, please reply here with your top three choices in order.
First place gets 3 points, second place 2 points, and third place 1 point.
The proposal with the most points wins (although this is certainly not a competition 
).
I will close off voting on Saturday 4/5 at 6:00am EST, around the time when I wake up 
.
-
1. #6 (Well, it's my suggestion, but I do like the idea of playing one of the pieces that TB commissioned.)
2. #4 (I have been dying to learn a VL Prelude)
3. #1 (The NYC Classical Guitar Orchestra is playing 2 pieces by Olga Amelkina-Vera, and I would like to check out one of her easier solo works, if such a thing exists) -
Well, I do know which one I won't be voting for, and that's number three. (Who came up with such a dumb idea in the first place ...) I like, more or less equally, all of the other suggestions. I will perhaps single out number five (for its breadth of choice) and numbers one and six (for their narrow focus). Two points each, if this is allowed - otherwise, in the order given.
-
Easy...
1. #1
2. #2
3. #3

Blaise Laflamme Now we know why Aaron Abbot always gets more votes than Zak Zimmerman!
-
-
1) #5
2) #1
3) #6
But they all work.
-
Steve Price Fine choices, Steve! (I'm just not sure if we're the proverbial 'great minds' that think alike, or the fools who seldom differ ...)
-
David Krupka Lol, as much as I'd like to think it's the former, I have my doubts and they are seemingly reinforced daily.

As was mentioned in the other topic. there are three pieces that Tonebase commissioned that we can play and the scores are available to all of us for no additional charge.
-
Marc Adler don It's worth pointing out that it is often possible to purchase a pdf of a score directly from the composer, generally at modest price. I often acquire music this way, and I would encourage others to do the same if they can - it's an easy way to support the creation of new work.
-
David Krupka Thanks, I normally do that too.

I've not been around as much as I would like lately but I'm raring to go on this one! My choices are:
1. Women Composers even though I don't play any at the moment and I have a number of pieces that I have scheduled that I need to prepare for the beginning of July. I have one in mind that I'm sure I could squeeze it in.
2. Studies I have another Sor study in mind for this.
3. Prelude Couple in mind by Ponce for this one!
Well done to Eric for taking matters into hand and organising these challenges!
