  • 'Fairytale' by Steve Langford has officially been chosen as the winning piece of the 2023 Pianist Composing Competition! The score for his piece appears inside Pianist 133, available here: pianistm.ag/133
    Notes from Langford: "I think of this piece as an exciting children’s
    story, the main theme representing the protagonist who clearly becomes
    involved in some kind of chase or calamity (the middle 16 bars.) But of
    course all ends well! The tempo should not be too slow; I like a uniform
    general tempo of 106 bpm. The Alberti bass should not be too heavy,
    and do observe the dotted notes under the slur!
    "In bar 12 meno (meaning less) is of course the answering phrase to the preceding bar. The next bar is marked mezzo piano and proceeds to return back to mezzo forte before the middle section. However, don’t overdo the contrast in dynamics in this piece. The middle section is marked ‘a little more movement’ and I actually accelerate gradually towards the crescendo in bar 32 before slowing a little and then more at bar 36. Finally bars 37 to 41 are the main technical challenge I think, so slowly does it at first!"

    What was the criteria for the composition? Was this intended as a teaching piece?
