Those are just your opinions offered without anything to substantiate them. Do you have any constructive feedback to offer? Perhaps you could use the Reviewing Template to justify your opinion?

It's bland and forgettable. There's nothing enjoyable. It's not interesting to listen.

This is nice! I really like when the strings enter at m 16, it’s a really nice color. If it were me I would move the Horn 1 part in m19-21 to the 2nd Trumpet. Then maybe bring the 2nd trombone at m22 down a fourth so it doubles the 2nd trumpet at the octave (or maybe even remove it altogether…?) Also, why does Trombone 2 have that part instead of Trombone 1? Overall really nice arrangement, I enjoyed listening!

No, unfortunately not this time. I am away and unable to finish the work I started.

Why so? Could you explain and elaborate more on that? Henry

Composition is awful

Piano Sonata in A Minor-3 Free Sheet Music by Robert C. Fox for Piano/Keyboard | Noteflight

Hi @Alex Weidmann ! Nice job on this orchestration. The horns do not go very high - only up to concert Bb which will be an F on the top line of the treble clef transposed to F. Thanks for sharing!

Hi Music Maestros! Just wanted to post my latest orchestration, which I only started on Thursday: so it every rough and ready. This is from a piano piece in three movements by Frank Bridge, and I've so far tackled only the first movement. Planning to do the rest soon. I think it's a beautiful piece, that's not very well known, and has, to my knowledge, never been orchestrated before. I'm hoping Peter may be able to give some advice on whether my French horn parts are playable, because they go a bit high. Also my trombone and viola parts are sometimes in the uppermost range. Have taken quite a few liberties with my arrangement, including tempo adjustments, additional notes, retiming transitions, and new counter-melodic lines. Without these changes, the orchestration doesn't work well, as it's quite challenging to adapt from piano. Some of my fermatas will be replaced by ten. markings (which Bridge himself uses in the original). Dynamic markings are intended for midi playback only: so I will be adjusting those. My flute is getting buried in the mix towards the end: so I will be adjusting that. But any other mix advice would be very helpful. I wonder, should I lower the threshold on my compressor, as the dynamic range is very wide? Anyway, hope you enjoy, and hopefully I've introduced some new people to this lovely work.

Melodies Themes Motives Harmony Chords Textures Form Development Structure Time Originality Creativity Score Presentation Instrumentation Orchestration Playability Execution of Given Challenge Taste 9.5 8 10 10 10 8 10 8.5 Avg: 9.25 This piece definitely captures the anxious commuter during rush hour I think. You captured the forward momentum beautifully during the train ride sessions. The score presentation is a perfect 10 because of your annotations, which helps the listener understand your intentions much more clearly. Your usage of dissonant chords to designate the train's departure was excellent, and the trills to portray the nightingale was really creative. And on top of all of this, your theme was extremely coherent / catchy. Overall, between your director's cues (basically, your score) and the music itself, this was a coherent, creative and beautiful piece to listen to. And you weren't afraid to take chances, which I feel, paid off very well.

It’s an interesting piece. I think you make excellent use of the dynamics and the rhythmic foundation, creating an intriguing yet effective contrast with the slow section. What I like most is that the piano really sounds like a piano; I mean, the writing is idiomatic for the instrument.

Major revisions to the third movement! It was like: 35- 7t 24[i9 tmjv qpt q 4ibjhyq46[iyhbj4 ]0i9te[HIOMJ ./;OB MJA;RLTDKVJG BNLPIUFG WP;

i have not taken any composition classes before and also the title of the piece is just a placeholder, the reason why it's called Fiesta is that that it's the name of the song the melody originated from (also if u cant tell, the audio is just extracted from musescore) any feedback would be appreciated! thanks for checking it out! advanced.mp3 advanced.pdf

Melodies Themes Motives Harmony Chords Textures Form Development Structure Time Originality Creativity Score Presentation Instrumentation Orchestration Playability Execution of Given Challenge Taste 8 8.5 8 9 9.5 9 10 9 Average Score: 8.8 Review: Melodies/Themes/Motives - There are many recognisable motifs, quite a few of which take the form of trills, etc. Harmony/Chords/Textures - The texture feels rich yet dynamic. Form/Development/Structure/Time - Performed as described and for an appropriate duration.. Originality/Creativity - The choice of instruments, particularly the two pianos, is unusual, but having listened to the piece and looked at the score, I believe it is entirely justified. Score Presentation - The score is correct and easy to read. Instrumentation/Orchestration/Playability The score is very effective, but it seems entirely playable. Execution of Given Challenge - I think the author has succeeded in achieving his aim. Taste - I like this piece because of its unique flavor.
