Hexameron - An Invitation, an Adventure

[MaestroUGC]

In 1837, Franz Liszt, possibly the greatest pianist of all time, got together five other prominent pianist-composers of the day to collaborate on a set of variations of Vincenzo Bellini's "March of the Puritans" from I puritani. The idea had each composer write one variation of the theme, in whatever idiom and style they wanted, for piano, and Liszt would unite them all into single, cohesive piece. The superstar composer pianists he united?

Frederic Chopin
Carl Czerny
Henri Herz
Johann Peter Pixis
Sigismond Thalberg

The final product was called Hexameron.

Now, 2015, I, Zachary Loy, would like to extend an invitation to the arrangers here to collaborate on a set of variations for piano on a piece of video game music. For everyone who would like to contribute, we would each write a single variation for solo piano. What piece? That's the best part, we can figure it out!

[MaestroUGC]

The piece we'd choose, for best results, would have to be one agreed upon by everybody contributing.

Not really, you can always give it a shot, but if it doesn't work out at least you tried.

I want to pay attention to this project so that I might write measures of some kind of "variation" that sets a world record for not being good.
Don't sign me up, but make me follow your deadlines.

[MaestroUGC]

I won't be using hard and fast deadline with this, I'll just keep it open until either 1) Everybody who signs on finishes or, 2) I get tired of waiting for a few holdouts.

i've created a variation of 'lost woods' entitled 'lost man' because it's about a man that trees get lost in and never return.
it's not lost woods backwards this time, i swear

every time you think you see beauty... it's abruptly destroyed by a break in pattern that will tear you apart. The chords that are created are meant to invoke passion, and then take it away again before you can even begin to enjoy it.

My work has inspirations from many composers, most that I am not aware of, but MaestroUGC was definitely one of my muses.
