Hello, everyone. I'm new to YoungComposers.com and generally new to composition in general. I consider this work my first major achievement and I'm posting it here to get some feedback, tips, praise, and/or criticism.
In relation to the work, I wrote it for a very special friend of mine on her 16th birthday as a gift. I consider it somewhat of an accomplishment in that I came up with the idea of this gift at the beginning of the month that her birthday was near the end of the same month and I completed it in time.
It is a symphony in four movements, all of which, except one, fall under the Classical period definition of the symphony.
I.
Adagietto dolce
II.
Tranquillo espressivo
III.
Waltz & Trio: Allegro non troppo
IV.
Rondo: Giocoso con brio
This is my first contribution and I haven't got the hang of everything yet, so if there is a preferred way of posting links and/or scores I hope someone can please enlighten me!
I am already aware of many changes I should make, but this was written for a specific person for her birthday, and because it was in this form when I gave it to her, I would rather leave it as it is, even though improvement is definately necessary!
The score was done with a deadline in mind. It took 25 days at the most. The Waltz was only a days work, and the Rondo two at most. The other two just had lots of gaps between writing and not writing.
