Totally unrelated, but I have musician friend with whom I communicate several times a week by email and we always sign off our messages with Ic-IIb-V7-I
Why?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
Because it does exactly what it says on the tin. It's a closing statement. Between two musicians, what better way to close a written communication than by using something musical.

But "Bye" is so much quicker to type!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Yes I know what you mean. No I wasn't influenced by Country Gardens or anything really - I wrote it because it was a progression that I knew would work. However I need to find something I can say was an influence otherwise I will get no marks for the question - I know it seems like I'm cheating the question, but I'm told that seeing as we have to state at least 17 influences to get full marks or near to, we're allowed to quote pieces that have similar elements, so long as we can show where they are and exactly how they relate.

I totally agree with what you're saying - it's just I don't want to lose marks just because my composition wasn't influenced by many other pieces!! Hope that makes sense (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Are you doing edexcel AS? If you are, I think it's more that you have to make 17 points than you need to write about 17 influences, so if one piece has more than one thing in common with yours then that can count for several. We were told to aim to comment on about 4 or 5 different pieces.

I don't want quicker, originality is the name of the game.

Oh really? Yes I'm doing edexcel AS - okay then, that sounds a bit more managable!! Thanks for that.
