Eine Kleine McGery

(If you don't like anything vaguely Mozarty, look away NOW!

Hi!

Thought it was about time I posted something to get some feedback.
This is a piece I wrote 2 years ago, and recently re-wrote the ending in order to submit the piece as an audition for a degree in composition.

The piece is written for strings, but also contains a timpani and and celesta to enhance things.

It's basically a Mozarty, classical, pastiche-esque piece! Although it doesn't stick to sonata form or anything of the sort, I really wanted to have a go at writing a purely classical piece. I didn't therefore attempt to do anything out of the ordinary in harmonic terms, although the ending is interesting.

I just wanted to know what people think! I personally think it's just ok... and that I could re-write the entire thing (I've learned a lot in the last 2 years) and produce something altogether more interesting. rather than do this, I'd rather just agree to disagree with it and get the score prepared in time for the submission deadline!

I've got a copy of the score done in sibelius which I'll upload tomorrow. I'd really love to have some feedback on the quality of the score, as I need it to be fairly accurate!

Alex,
