(This forum had yet to have an original composition directly uploaded to it, I think.)

This is my original composition, "Saturday Procrastination," which I composed for the Yamaha Junior Original Concert and will perform for the 46th International Junior Original Concert (IJOC) in August at Yamaha Hall in Tokyo, Japan. It's an A-B-A form, upbeat jazz piece that has a slow and sensitive midsection.

I later arranged this for piano and vibraphone duo for added jazz taste, and also because I love the color of the vibraphone's sound, but won't post it publicly because I'm afraid someone would recreate it without permission. Not to say that anyone would because they like it or whatever, but *just to stay safe*.

Probably because this is not that kind of forum.

True. This category is obscure and dead itself anyway. o_o

Thanks for sharing your composition.
I believe that's what this category is for.

Love the piano voicings and the cheeky motif that appears throughout. Really nice writing for piano. listened to entire piece, as opposed to just 'dipping in'. Bar 18 kind of sticks out....perhaps musical humour? Bet it sounded great with vibes/piano too!
I too am glad that Finale forum has a spot for people to post compositions.

Michel R E, what part of "Share" don't you understand?

Michel's posting is from nearly 4 years ago, but I agree with him that this forum is intended for Finale help, not comments on the merits of one's composition. Feel free to post such, but there are better places to get that kind of feedback.
