Morning @Luis Hernández and @Henry Ng Tsz Kiu, I have edited the original post with the correct PDF. I hope that helps.

Sounds good. Although there seems to be some clash (0:22) or conflict here and there. Perhaps it will be clearer with the score.

It's common when someone has no words to object they claim the opposing arguments have no sense at all 🫢😏

I am now 100% certain that you have comprehension issues, did you even read what you wrote? It makes no sense at all.

Hi @Kvothe! I check the score and it only has p.3 with just one staff of score. I will check this out once you update the score to the full version! Henry

Hi @pateceramics! I really like how you use different mood and word painting for different lyrics. The A minor section in b.13 really depicts the agitation to “protest” with short and accented tone, and then the next section you use long slurs to depict the “unspooling thread fine legs”. Next section is like a declamation. And then next section you really “beat” your beat with staccato and accents, and then “relaxes” with longer notes, and ends with longer note value too. Thx for sharing! Henry

Okay so another example - this is something I've been playing around with Page 1 (option 1) Option 2 (Eb to Abmaj9/Bb) Idea for the pickup for more umph Page 2

The last chord is impossible on Violin. You have a G, B, and G triple stop. The lowest string will be open on G then the next available string is the D string so I would advise using that since it's in the G major tonality. Then you could have a B above to complete the chord. That would be possible to play but currently it's impossible.

Yeah

Hi @mossy84! I personally find this a really successful attempt to try a sonata allegro and keep the opening motive present in almost every part of the movement. I agree with you that the movement fits more as the Scherzo movement (lots of Scherzo movements are in Sonata form tho). I really enjoy the harmonic progression in the piece which keeps surprising me. In the 2nd subject you start with C major and then modulate to C minor in b.34, which is common in Baroque sonatas, and I think you will do the normal practice by returning to C major again afterwards. But no you modulate a semitone upward and ends the exposition in C sharp minor! That's a real surprise to me. But with the exposition repeat isn't weird at all. You do the same for the recapitulation, first moves to G sharp minor and then returning to tonic A minor, very clever and surprising to do so. The modulation in development section is really colorful and you move as far as to F sharp major and soothingly returns to A minor. Thx for sharing! Henry

Is that the bad Musecore violin soundfont lol?

I very much dislike the violin soundfonts I have at my disposal lol. Thanks for the feedback 🙂

Hi @Fruit hunter! The whole piece has wonderful changes of orchestral timbre fitting for each dances. I like how you use B as the tonic for different modes, then E and then A and lastly D as the fundamental note, under the circle of 5th. The whole piece thus becomes a whole bazaar of different cultural dances with fully apt harmony, scale, rhythm, color etc for each dance, but the main theme of the repeated notes is easily recognizable. Thx for sharing! Henry

Happy New Year - Composed: January 2026 - Instrumentation: Oboe, Violin, Viola, Violoncello. - Style: early romantic 1800-1820 - Duration: 1:00 I have decided to follow in the footsteps of Chopin! I love how he used a single motive idea thorough entire piece where the harmony is changing under neath. It creates a new interpretation of the idea and flow of the idea. That is one of goal. Another goal was to use Aeolian, melodic, and harmonic minor modes and blend them in. Although the waltz lacks form, there is sense of climax that resolve at the end. As always, I appericate, I hope you enjoy this piece. Feed back is always appreciate. Kvothe

Hi @Willibald! I like the jovial mood for the 1st and 3rd mov minuets. Maybe you can end the Sonata with a Rondeau? Henry

Check out the conclusion to the event here:

Hey Chris! This one sounds really cool! I have never listened to the original song but after listening it, I have to say your version is better! How come a Rock God song lacking rock elements in it! Thx for sharing!! Henry

Hi @therealAJGS! I quite enjoy the timbre here! Maybe you can add some marimba or vibraphone into it? Henry

Hi @Cafebabe! Why the recording is played by a piano instead 😅😗? I do not play violin myself but I feel like the writing here is violinistic. The modulation really helps move the piece forward when you move from G major and slightly towards A flat major, and then back to G major via C minor. Thx for sharing! Henry

Hey @Tunndy! I remember I listened to quite similar music before haha: Maybe you can combine them in one post! I feel like the orchestration here is fuller than the previous versions. It certainly depicts the Christmas mood. Thx for sharing! Henry

Yo Peter! This mashup is my favourite of your 3 because I think this one mixes the best! The counterpoint works so well here and even for passages in b.44 when the "O, Christmas Tree" melody enters in F major while the "Hark! The Herald Angel's Sing!" stays in C major it doesn't sound weird but fluent. That results in a lovely Lydian ending! Thx for sharing! Interesting, you are mixing real composition with originality then "originality" by clicking a button to generate, and call them the same thing as technology.

Hey @Mooravioli! Like Peter said this is a really lovely jazz influenced piece. I like all the suspension and jazz notes in it. The piece to me is somewhat like an after-Christmas party piece, happy but a little sad because the joyful party ends and knowing that it will end one day make us sad. Nice playing as well as the rubato really helps expressing the jazzy mood. Thx for sharing! Henry

Hello @Patrick Compo-Classique! Welcome to the forum! Instead of posting a link to your whole YouTube channel here, you might have more luck engaging with the other members in the forum if you post one piece at a time with each in its own dedicated topic depending on ensemble/style of the music: https://www.youngcomposers.com/f5/upload-your-compositions-for-analysis-or-feedback/ Thanks for joining us!

Very bad idea if you want to be a professional. Great if you want to be a hobbyist and worth studying for the sake of the craft. But if you want to be a professional composer, you don't want to be a jack of all trades.
