/comp/ - Composition General

[Asher Rodriguez]

Hey faggots, this is the last one of these I'm gonna make so I hope it gets noticed. If you're interested at all, post questions, thoughts, even your own compositions if you want. Come on, we won't bite. Alright, some of us will, but it's all in good fun.

Copypasta:

An experiment in a pen-and-paper composing general, made for all the theory autists

This differs from /prod/ in that it is more focused on art music and music theory. That is not to say /prod/'s electronic music is unwelcome, by all means, post here! But follow in the footsteps of the classical composers of the 20th century who experimented in electronic music. But remember, this is NOT /classical/. Any art music, such as jazz, is acceptable

Post clyps, and please post accompanying notation so we can accurately critique your composing from a theory perspective

TIPS ON MELODIES PLEASE.
Its all I need, I want to make more catchy but good melodies, help.

[Mason Wilson]

so if you're writing music for multiple different instruments, all of which may vary in volume, should you write the dynamics as if, say, mezzo forte is a constant volume for all instruments involved, or should it be instrument specific, i.e. fff means "the loudest you can play" and "ppp" means "the quietest you can play"? I primarily compose in notation software which may be the cause of a lot of my confusions desu
