Symphony No 1 in E-flat Major




Hello, everybody!! Currently I am composing this piece and i would like to get some feedback on the introduction and exposition, which is what Ive posted.
I really would appreciate feed back from all listeners, as i am undecided about certain changes i can make.
To all the listeners, do you all think that the first theme in the exposition is suitable?  I am not sure it is, but currently have no replacement ideas.
Thank you, Rcc400



I like it, although there could be some more movement in the beginning, to make the sustained chords sound richer. Have you got a pdf fiile of the score?
^^^the pdf is in a blue box up in the right corner

There are a few curiosities just scoring wise that I don't quite understand. Why does the flute double a horn? And why is it so very high? I see you're writing in concert pitch, non-transposing, which is ok for scores, but you will need to transpose the parts for instruments that do. The timpani figures of 32nd notes alternating between two notes should probably just be written as two-note rolls, unless you actually need that specific rhythm for something, and if you DO need that, know that on the timpani it won't be clear audibly.

At m. 28, you give the "piano" dynamic in four successive measures. I might be wrong, but I feel like this happened because you copy+pasted the first measure and didn't bother to clean them up. This makes me reluctant to continue this review, in addition to the fact that you've uploaded 3+ pages of blank measures along with the score...it's like you hastily turned out this score without taking the time to make it presentable.

those are all mistakes of me using the scorewriter, yeah, i didnt bother to clean up the score its no where close to being finished, just first draft out of many. Thank you though for noticing :P
I would like feedback on the music though ;).
This is not supposed to be anything close to a final, that is why the music is quite empty, just wanted feed back on my ideas.
