This can't be said enough. Thank you, Qc, for the time and effort that you have put into this class and the community at large.
Praise aside, attached are my excercises.
A couple notes:
-The filenames of the pictures should tell you which excercise is which. (In case it doesn't, the order [left to right, bottom to top] is Flute-Strong, Flute-Weak, Oboe-Strong, Oboe-Weak, Clarinet, Bassoon-Strong, Bassoon-Weak, Excercise 2, Excercise 3.)
-Although the clarinet part in my excercise can be considered strong and weak (keeping in mind the clarinet has complete dynamic control), I'd like to point out that, despite this fact, the throat tones can be hesitant. In addition, the part could also be considered weak in terms of playability, due to crossing the break (though really a microscopic weakness)
-In the 4 bar phrase, I paired the Clarinet and Bassoon, using the weak (almost humorous) range of the Bassoon. My intention was to convey a joking mood.
-And lastly, the E major chord. All of the instruments are doubled (incl. the Bassoon). I used the weak registers of all the intruments, except for the flutes, to convey a light, airy, fragile mood. I tried to emphasize the 3rd of the chord in Fl. II and Cl. I.
Thank you for your time.
(And you may refer to me as Luke, if you wish)
