The first concert is done and I feel relieved that there is no more learning parts or stress of getting my score ready for my piano player to give him enough time to learn the part. I have defnitly enjoyed this expierence up until now, but as much as I would like to think that this is it for these pieces, I think there will always be something that I want to do more with them. I guess thats what being a musician and/or composer is about, always trying to make things better and clearly yours. I found for this project that coming up with ideas was not the hard part, I found the hard part to be the revisions. For examle the ending of my second piece refers back to the beginning and in class it was mentioned that it never fit, but finally I was able to tweak it and revise things so that it the ending made sense and was coherent. Again creating ideas was the easy part, but its taking these ideas, developing them and manipulating them is the hard part. Overall I was pleased with my three pieces I believe that I had three contrasting works, which is what I was going for and I believe that it showed off different characters of the vibraphone. I am interested in seeing what our next topic is so I can get started and create some more music.
