This is MacGregor – an aritistic cat. He has a grand position and is picture perfect. No doubt he feels that if a toy dog can be left there (I suspect the two-year old granddaughter) why can’t he join it? He will take due note of anyone playing.
I have reached a point in the final movement of my second symphony where the music runs for just over five and a half minutes, and I have to take a policy decision. Rest my case, or launch into an entirely new idea? I think any more music on the lines of what already appears would start to get monotonous, but if I go further I’ll need a key signature change and possibly want to alter the time as well. Then, development of a new theme is likely to make the movement pretty long … *sigh*
I think I’ll start, and see what happens!

Love the majesty of the cat!

I am doing that!
The cat has a superiority conviction. He tolerates his slaves, though.

I love the composition on the piano too.
Take care.

Thanks for saying so! That is a lot faster and easier to do, as you can imagine. When one has all the instruments playing at once, there are an awful lot of notes to enter.

Let the music flow – go where ever it takes you and rejoice in where ever it leads you. Music flows and can not be forced…. But then what do I know… I never got further than grade 8… 😦

I never got anywhere NEAR Grade 8!

If you don’t experiment with a new theme you won’t know if it’s an improvement or not. Besides, it’s good to challenge yourself and break out of a pattern now and then. Good luck! Nice cat.

The new theme then departed into yet another – but I am having fun!

He really does fit in well there, although he should ideally be in front of the dog 🙂
Good luck with your composition!
