Hi again @Aw Ke Shen, I don't think this is pop at all. As a moderator I'm tempted to just move it into the piano/solo keyboard forum since I think that's where it really belongs - but it might just be me so if you want me to move it just let me know. I perceive this as almost Grieg-like. Despite using lots of repetition this once again impresses me with the amount of variation; canonic imitation, changing subdivisions, change of register. And the melody is very beautiful in it's simplicity and especially prone to being varied in multiple ways while still being audibly related to the original. The only thing that's missing is a key change. The melody/harmony is also a good example of how parallel 5ths in this style of writing don't automatically destroy independence of voices. Thanks for sharing! -

I agree with @MisterWesley , and I would add that it's good to pay attention to the proportion of a cadenza to concerti of varying lengths. When I hear "2 mins and 15 seconds", I think that is a perfectly reasonable length on average but I do not know the length of the rest of your work/movement, and you may be able to get away with shorter or longer. I would suggest specifically comparing your work to well known works of about the same length, and maybe in the style and time period you're emulating (if you are). I hope that's helpful. 🙂 -

(I hope I'm doing this in the correct place. If not, apologies.) For those of you who're always on the path of expanding your orchestration palette and technique, you may be interested to check out the first volume of my Orchestration In Depth series of digital books, for Apple Books, which are viewable in the Apple Books reader on MacOS, iPad, and iPhone, and with a little extra effort, on Windows, too, according to my understanding. This particular book focuses exclusively on scoring and composing for Timpani for many types of settings and purposes. I honestly don't think there has ever been anything on the market for composers quite like this book or this series. If you click on View in Apple Books, you should be able to click the sample button to see some random pages. Here is the link: https://books.apple.com/us/book/orchestration-in-depth-timpani/id6502035004
