WOW! Just listened to some. OHMIGOD
you guys put me to shame!
WHy can't I write like that? There goes my musical career.
Well done people.

Oh dear, the compositions part is especially difficult!

*goes to think*

GO JOY AND MILLY!!!

Gosh. Two of my favourites, not including my own, and other great ones. This will be hard.

Well done to everyone who's made the nominations.

The top two were drawing in the first one, and my vote put one ahead! And I made all the scores on the second one level!

Not bad for someone who doesn't look at the results before I vote.

Mine was down to the most technically amazing and the most musically satisfying. I always favour the latter, so that's how I chose the one I did. Delightful playing.

I can't be bothered to listen to them all so I will just vote for whoever causes some kind of pattern

Good luck to all of you.

Thank you to those of you who voted for CWB in the PM votes.

I echo that!

Still 3 days to cast your votes

How on earth will we be able to award an Anonymous Pianist if (s)he wins?

Car Expert

Anonymously?

Gosh! I've only just checked this thread, and had no idea I'd ben nominated - not once, but twice! Thanks, all.

I don't know but that recording got my vote for sure!

Mine too

Thanks for the nominations and votes, people

Wow... the Charlie Wilson Blues have suddenly taken the lead!

Car Expert

Still anyone's game with 6 hours of voting left!

Car Expert

Missed that!

Anyway - on a slightly more serious note, I wonder how feasible it would be to get some of the compositions on the poll onto the forum CD? I know that none of the other pieces fit the criteria of getting lots of people involved in the piece, but I think it'd be nice to maybe have one or two other finalist's works on the CD, aside from Amber and I's work. And we'd need to of course get permission from the composers, and cheeble for one is a forumite I've not seen posting for a while...

*bakes extra large cake and sprays happy mist* Congrats to Milly and Cheeble! And well done to everyone else who made the poll.

Well done cheeble and bohemian!

Thank you to those of you who voted for the CWB, and well done to everyone else on the poll!

Congratulations to the winners!

awww thanks guys!! and thanks to CE for letting me know about this, I'm really flattered!

I don't mind any of you using my compositions for a CD as long as they're acknowledged to be mine! and if you want my one from Radio 4, we recorded it in the chapel at the same time as the broadcast (so the BBC don't own that recording) so if you'd like the file, please PM me!

I found Cheeb's composition on my laptop, and was listening to it, and was wondering who on earth had this amazing voice...I only just realised now what I was listening to.

Wow!!! Who nominated me? *Looks accusingly...*

I didn't even see this thread, I never voted
