Very good!!! I think this piece was exceptional for a 16 year old! I
am 14 and only dream of writing something this good!! You managed to
make it sound very classical (I thought it sounded like Beethoven or
Mozart), something people can't seem to do these days. Encore!

Binaries in the discussion groups are a major pain for all of us.
Please find an alternative way to distribute them. I know lots of
folks who most certainly can seem to make music in the vein of
Beethoven or Mozart, by the way.

Forget the endless discussion on the newsgroup
rec.music.compose.
Please join us on the La Musique Petite challenge. If you want real
discussion that is encouraging to new composers join Peter Shafer,
myself and a number of other humble composers who are trying to
encourage each other to composer good, classical music. You will find
some of us (including myself) who are composing original music in a
traditional (19th, 18th or 17th century) style. )For myself, my music
is very much in the style of Antonin Dvorak.) Some of our pieces have
real merit. There is also a list-serve that was started by Peter Shafer
for discussion outside of the newsgroup. You are very welcome to join
us in the list-serve as well.
You will find out more by directing yourself to the website:
http://www.europa.com/~dearmad/
I think that you will find what we are doing here interesting
and
encouraging... and helpful for your own writing.
And by the way, I have also invited the "16 year old boy" who,
like
you, have decided to withhold your name, to join us.
Sincerely,
David Young

I've never heard those people's stuff. Everywhere I go that claims
to be classical but has stuff written by anyone born after 1910 very
rarely sounds classical. Especially by someone only 16. Mostly (form
what I've listened to), it's just a bunch of boring, clashing notes
that have no direction. This is just a generalastion, but it is true
(for me) 80-90% of the time. And, I'm a newbie, so I'm wondering:
What's wrong with posting binaries? It's not like it takes longer to
gather the new headers in the group, because you have to actually open
the header to download it. Is it that much of a pain to read a line
of text that says "16 year-old boy's MIDI part 2"? Just a
newbie-to-this-group's question.

Why, in the 20th century, would anyone want to sound like Beethoven or
Mozart? Did Beethoven or Mozart try to sound like Guillaume de Machaut?
Just wondering.

Jeez, getting into this again. Can't you figure it out?
If you go to art galleries in San Francisco and Monterey, you will see a
lot of fine art by artists who paint beautiful painting, very realistic
paintings in the style of artists from 100 to 200 years ago. And guess
what, these painting sell for lots of money. It is clear that there is
a market for beautiful paintings, realistic paintings. I'm thinking of
artists like Casay, Slaughter, and Featheroff.
Likewise, I write music born out of the Romantic age, predominantly in
the style of Antonin Dvorak. Beautiful 19th century music that is
immediately attractive and satisfying to the listener and yet creative
to the same degree demanded in the 19th century. And I fully expect
there to be a market for this music.
I'm glad that these young men are considering writing music in a
traditional style. Although I would advise them to study very hard to
refined their techniques to make it the highest quality traditional
music.

David Young

I know I would want to, just because I like the way they sound.
