The Competitions
In 2014, we composed a short instrumental work and asked specialists of contemporary music and economy for review (to the original concept >>>). The given improvement suggestions resulted in a new version of the piece.
To further increase the quality of the piece, we release now the parts of the piece as composition contests. The separate competitions are derived from the improvement suggestions for the original work.
