Okay, so. Last week, I decided to force myself out of a writer's block.

I sat down at my keyboard for 20 minutes and came up with a theme that sounded pretty nice.

Here is that theme in action.

I wrote a brass sextet (a quintet with a euphonium added for fun) that turned out decent.

There are a number of things that I'm not happy with:
Transitions, but I am never happy with those.
The ending: rarely am I able to come up with a good one.

As usual, the piece is kept together with about three reoccuring motives. It's up to you to find them instead of complaining.

Here is the score. There's no point in complaning about that either. It's as neat and clean as I make it at the moment. There are a few problems, but it'll do. Oh, and it's 40 pages long because I don't know how to put two systems on a page. I stuck measure numbers in to make it easier to comment. If I were ever to get this performed, I'd make it as clean as possible, but not now. I have neither the time nor the patience.

Enjoy. It's intense!
