Kids' waltz
Hello @Samuel_vangogh Below you will find my review and feed back of your waltz. Score prep: When choosing a M.M it needs to be closer what musicians play. You have a doted half note at 60. Although a program can play that, musicians cannot. A better marking would quarter at 160. That is still rather. You can still provide a tempo marking, too. The dyamic marking are vague. Yes, it starts are p at the start of the piece. But the cres and dim don't indicate rather what dynamic level the player they are heading to. The chords under the melody need to split up! On b 13. remove the chord in the left hand... Form: A: Phrase structure that creates period structure is solid. You have strong sense how use to motive! B: I love the falling 8 note motive and how it does not feel like a waltz A: Great return of waltz.

I’m going to be reading EBooks anyway but for now we can say the budget is 70$

Romantic harmony is a subset of function harmony. Depending on your budget, I can recommend several books.

I’m in a similar position, are there any specific books you’d recommend?

Early attempt to orchestrate piano Nocturne No.1 by Faure
Here's the cadenza with marimba. I think it sounds nice; though whether it would work with real musicians is another matter. Would need a very good marimba player! (N.B. Score notation is designed for midi playback only: so ignore the extreme dynamics.) Nocturne No.1 in Eb minor (alternate cadenza).mp3 Nocturne No.1 in Eb minor (alternate cadenza)(1).pdf

A piece in C major
Hi, Kvothe: The 6-note chords can be varied infinitely here. My intention here was to create a state of suspension—and to demonstrate just how melancholic C major can be—despite my limited knowledge. But you are right; chromatic harmony would have been more advantageous. Thank you for your valuable tips.

@Henry Ng Tsz Kiu I was referring to the point that harmony books, listening, and score study would help him

Maybe in my dream and @Kvothe divined it 😅

Where did Henry say that?

Okay, thank you!

Ah. Back to @Henry Ng Tsz Kiu point! I would not start with Chopin. Start with Bach.

Ahh, sorry! I am an advanced oboe player!

No. I meant your skill level at playing an instrument. 19th century music falls into CPE. Thus, depending what you can play that would be first stop, my friend. :)

A piece in C major
Hello @Tristan25 Below is my feedback of your piece. Motive(s): Throughout the piece you have recurring motive that makes the piece cohesive. And yes, there is variation of the motive to interest, overall. However, I feel that interest is lost after so many times we hear it. This creates your thematic material short melodic phrases. This is usually fine. However, there is need something else to grab our attention. Harmony: As your first piece, it is fine to stick to more diatonic harmonies. Later, you should try learn chromatic harmony! Form: I am not certain what the over form of the composition is. Overall, it is great start
