Symphony No.1 in A minor 'The Tragedy', mvmt 1

WOW, a very powerful work! I love the exuberance of this piece, although this midi is not doing any justice at all =X Suggest you get a professional software

Back to topic, wow i love the melody distribution! reminds me of late Mozart and alittle bit Beethoven with the strong timpani!as well as a tiny wee bit of tchaikovsky.! Can you provide the score so I would learn something from your orchestration? Hard to hear from the midi(specifically).

Winds instru rocks with the melody XD

A great tragedy indeed!(referring to the midi)

To upload the score would mean scanning every page of my score. It's complicated how I do my things actually. So I'll need to be extremely free to do that. I handwrite my scores by the way.

Basically, the instruments in this piece are flutes, oboes, clarinets, bassoons, horns, trumpets, timpani, and the strings (I separated cello from double basses). My pieces are mainly influenced by Beethoven, and the short development section is pretty much Tchaikovsky. I have my two violins playing in parallel octaves most of time when the main theme kicks back in, along with the woodwinds and occasionally the trumpets. The bassoons have more or less the same notes with the cello. The secondary theme was initially played by the oboe in the exposition. In the recapitulation, the clarinet played it. The secondary theme, I have to admit, bears resemblance to Haydn's Symphony No. 44, to my surprise when I found out.

So, thanks for the review and sorry about the inconvenience of the absence of the score.

You...handwrite the whole symphony?! Wow, then how did you get the midi from the scores? Am interested to know!

Thanks, I have a clearer picture of what you have in mind now!

My sibelius is a free trial version and I can't really print full scores but just the first page. I usually put type parts of my music up, record the parts separately and piece them up together in Windows Movie Maker. That's how I do it... An agonizingly long process but I'll just have to make do. can't get the full version, coz with these people I'm living with, I'm not allowed to. so yeah... Just had to find a way.

i can turn midi's into sibelius scores and then into graphic files. i liked the piece.

Congrats for your effort. Very energetic music. And hand-written!!! I also hand-wrote two full symphonies in my teens (long before getting my hands on Finale). And, just like yours, they both were influenced by Beethoven and Tchaikovsky (albeit, in your case, Beethoven is way more prevalent, while Tchaikovsky gets the upper hand in my works). Well done!

Thank you very much guys! Glad you like it
