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.

@Omicronrg9 Nice, you played that song very well. Makes me think of Final Fantasy, I think they would like your piece, it will be for a secret boss fight. The AI transcription sounds very different lol. It doesn’t sound good to me xD is that really the same piece? I guess they don’t have an ai for sheet music transcription yet. I’m not really trying to be ‘perfect’ ? Like perfect as in, to me there’s no unnecessary sounds that I personally don’t like or a wrong note played or it doesn’t flow well. So my perfect and your perfect are two different things with different goals i guess. To me a song is perfect if it captures what my lyrics and emotions behind it are trying to convey. Also I asked Grok can ai or agi compose music and grok said: AI can already function as a composer today, generating original music across genres like classical, pop, orchestral, and even symphonies, though it often requires human input for refinement and lacks the depth of human emotional experience. 0 1 2 Tools like Suno, Udio, AIVA, NotaGen, OpenAI’s Jukebox, and Google’s Magenta allow users to create full tracks or sheet music from text prompts, trained on massive datasets of existing songs. 4 5 6 For instance, AI has completed unfinished works like Schubert’s Symphony No. 8, produced pop albums (e.g., Taryn Southern’s “I AM AI”), and generated high-quality orchestral pieces that sound realistic but may feel derivative or formulaic without human curation. 2 6 Current AI excels at mimicking styles and reducing production costs but struggles with true innovation beyond its training data, such as inventing entirely new genres like grindcore from pre-1900 inputs. 3 20 28 With AGI—AI capable of human-level intelligence across all tasks—the answer is unequivocally yes; it would compose music at or beyond human quality, including original, emotionally resonant works that generalize beyond datasets. 24 25 26 AGI could ideate melodies, harmonies, and lyrics collaboratively or autonomously, drawing on vast knowledge to create novel compositions that feel “human” or even surpass imperfections valued in art. 29 30 32 While some argue AI can’t replicate genuine emotion or consciousness, AGI’s potential for recursive introspection and generalization could bridge that gap, enabling music that’s indistinguishable from or superior to human output. 8 10 31 In essence, today’s AI is a capable but limited composer; AGI would make it a master. —— The numbers on groks copy pasted thing are the sites it was checking. I don’t know if you know what AGI is but its Artificial General Intelligence. It’s basically the evolved form of AI. Right now AI is just like a game being refined and added with more content. That’s all it can do is what it was given. AGI is basically AI but it can actually learn and change itself. They are developing this and are being careful about it because of the fact that it can learn and if it’s not designed properly, it’s basically going to learn that it can learn everything that humans know and can surpass it and create whatever it wants and give itself a strong body and learn that humans are weak and fragile and yea basically it will be terminator then matrix in real life. So right now that’s probably why AGI is not public and is being worked on to make it safe for humans. Also the ai music thing just like the game i was talking about, they will continue training it and adding more updates and like you were saying it would be almost indistinguishable, to most people it already is. My target is really anyone who wants to hear, I’m just a messenger. Whether it’s the masses or professionals like you guys. I’m just trying to send a message and music helps to spread it faster. But yea anyways the engrave on a mountain thing, well paper is destroyed easily, it gets wet or it burns or whatever and boom your stuff is gone. Engrave on a mountain, it will be far from everyone and less chance of getting destroyed and it would be cool to find to whoever climbs the mountain. Can be a cave or a big rock somewhere, doesn’t have to be a mountain. Pleasure chatting with you Daniel 🫡

not done yet, I was making a song with a LOT of drums when I realized the chorus looks like decorated congas... What should I add?

nice.
