Your advice is needed

Hello everyone,

this morning i wrote a piece for orchestra. I recorded it tonight, but i did not really orchestrate it yet. (i just layered some orchestra sounds and recorded it).

By brother tells me he really hates the first part, the static part, that is played in the beginning, the middle and at the end. He likes the romantic part of the piece.

I need your advice before i start orchestrating . Should i delete the static parts and come up with something else, or what do you think ?

No one wants to give me advice ?

Not very encouraging when you post your first composition online for advice.

A nice waltz! And actually, I personally prefer what you call the "static part" to the other. The simple harmonic structure appeals much more to me than excessive sentimentalism and stressed "romanticism". The parts seem to go well with each other though.

Definitely don't delete the "static" part.

Thanks ! I also like the static part more than the romantic part.
Thanks very much for your advice

Well in regards to the piece, I enjoyed it. I think the static part is fine for the particular style of the piece. Its a nice start to the piece as well. I think some other colors will add to it when you get around to composing for them. As it pertains to getting comments on this particular site you have to comment on other peoples works for people to realize that you exist, and even then the fellow users tend to comment only among their clicks or their personal tastes.

Hello

thanks, and you are right. I also should comment more on other members' music myself. I listen to the pieces, and i am always very curious about what people are composing. But i dont comment much, because i think i am just a beginner, i am not an expert at all.
But i will comment more on other peoples work in the future.

Thanks and kind regards

I thought it was a really nice composition. And it didn't seem 'forced,' by this I mean, it all seemed to flow pretty naturally to me, you didn't appear to be looking for any specific themes, they all just rolled into each other.
It was wonderful to listen to I hope there are many more where that came from.

Thank you very much !

I do not know anything about music theory. So when i write music, it comes to me naturally. It comes out of my fingers when i am playing. So for me the composition feels natural. Thats the way it came out of my fingers.

But my brother told me he really dislikes the 'static part' . I always take his advice very serious, but it just wanted to know what other composers think of it. I am just a beginner, but for me it sounded natural.

I have made a lot of compositions lately, some are much better i think. I will post some of them next week.

Thanks for your comment !

Kind regards
