The second movement to my 3 part symphony. Hope you enjoy and listen to the first part if you haven't yet :)
The Sad Symphony Movement 2

It would be nice if there was a score, because I'm deaf.

Again I don't know if I found it sad, more "majestic". I suppose it's fine. It's maybe even more interesting if the whole "sad symphony" doesn't have any typically "sad" sounding pieces.

The orchestration gets a little to samey after a while - you don't have to have all the instruments playing all the time, and instruments other than first violins can take the melody.

Hello, I just listened to your piece. I liked the concept of the mouvement. Do not know if you can call it sad, would not call it majestic either as last life did, but rather reflective. Good use of percussion to obtain effects. I have to agree with last life though, it could use some work on the orchestration. Throughout the piece you keep the violins play the tune, and, as far as I can guess due to the abscence of the score, the 1st or 2nd violins mainly. You could create a dialogue effect if you put part of your tune into woods or brass having violins answered; putting the tune in octaves throughout an entire section gives you another effect.... It is a good work but needs changes for variation, so it would not become boring.You do not need the entire orchestra to play the entire period of time. Tutti for orchestra are good to obtain effects, they miss their effect if you have it played all the time. The piece has a good built up, good construction.... In all, good work, yet some modifications needed. Kind regards, WS
