I am starting to get interested in composing. A coupld of days ago I wrote a
small piece (in A minor, I favor minor than major). I wrote the melody, my
son wrote the accompany chord. It does not sound very harmonic. But the
process of working together with kids is quite a lot of fun.
Any suggestions on books that I can start with on composing? By the way, for
very beginner level.
I really do enjoy most of the music.
I sometime feel if I didn't like some work the first time,
after listening to it once or twice more, I began to love them.
I still think it is a learning procedure.
Isn't it good to be able to enjoy more music?
Really, every famous classical composer has reasons to be
famous. And it is our ears to discover beauty.

in composer, whenever I try to assign some links, colors, ... to texts,

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vibrato is a musical effect consisting of a regular, pulsating change of
pitch. It is used to add expression to vocal and instrumental music. Vibrato
is typically characterised in terms of two factors: the amount of pitch
variation ("extent of vibrato") and the speed with which the p... 阅读全帖

In 2005, Tim Harris, Simon Marlow, Simon Peyton Jones, and Maurice Herlihy

atomic operations to be composed into larger atomic operations, a useful
concept impossible with lock-based programming. To quote the authors:
Perhaps the most fundamental objection [...] is that lock-based programs do

I am listening to Wieniawski's violin concertos Nos.1&2,
and legende in G minor played by Gil Shaham.
They are really good masterpieces,
fully express the composer's strong emotion.
When Wieniawski was in london in 1859 he met and fell in
love with Isabella hampton, a niece of the IRish pianist
and composer George Osborne; but when her father dismissed
his proposal of marriage he returned to his rooms in despair
and composed the Legende in G minor. The next day, so the
