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! Editing is Noteflight is a major scallop! Gets enharmonic equivalents wrong! C Major program!

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.

Hello my dear friends. Here my latest binary Sonata no 24. I hope you like it.

Good job my dear Henry. Always aprecciate your work. Well done

38 years...THAT IS ONLY THE ALMOST COMPLETE FIRST THIRD OF THE DEVELOPEMENT!!! MAINLY THE TEMPO CHANGE TO 140!!!

I would get to Transcendent rank in a much quicker pace if I posted like you haha.

NEW TEMPO AND MATERIAL! NEW TEMPO 4=140!!! Exposition done.

UPDATE; THERE IS A TEMPO CHANGE TO QUARTER=140 for the third movement! That was the key! Allegro makes it difficult but more snappy! Composing now...

Hi @Krisp Papa Jean! I always enjoying your composition and singing and this one is in no exception. I really love the color you use in the whole piece. The chromatic harmony is fascinating, the low register secco marcatos and stacatissimo from the piano in the first section, the more diatonic and flowing passage in 1:26 gives a really great contrast to the previous section. It's interesting in 0:58 when the lyrics is "Scales Old scales" there is a scale playing from the piano. The repetition of the Digadoden with the secco staccatos and low register notes (and later sweeter legatos) is very well managed. The ending is really nice as well, as I thought it would end in a false dream and serenity but finally it ends with what begins the piece. Thx very much for sharing! Henry

Hi @Markus Boyd ! A nice Classical String Quartet which displays great writing skills for chamber music, I like all those passages when all instruments are given their voice. B.99 of 1st movement sounds really interesting to me for a delaying of the recapitulation. It's interesting to revisit an old work for a revision right? I only know that when I'm revisiting my Clarinet Quintet in recent days. One sidenote: I still enjoy Noteperformer more than Musecore sounds especially for strings---Musescore always automatically add slides between non slur notes in different strings which sounds a bit off to me. Thx for sharing! Henry

Hey Pabio @Fugax Contrapunctus ! I thoroughly enjoy this one! I love your Die Kunst der Fuge like treatment of the canon themes when you keep adding complexity to the piece progressively. I don't calculate the counterpoint you use at all but only enjoy it without thinking. It's sad that Gerubach passed away this early. His contribution is significant since he may be the first one to post score videos on youtube which lots of people follow his tracks later on. Henry

Hey Peter, I enjoy this one more than the no.1 one, probably since if I were Julia, I would enjoy a more sugary Rachmaninoffian style than any compositional thoughts haha *0*. This one sounds Brahmsian to me though because of how you handle the motive with saturation. Nice ending as well. Henry

Hi @Wieland Handke , I like the descriptive effect you used for both the train part and the nightingale part. I enjoy the train part more than the nightingale part, but only due to the rendition, because the should-be soft trills and glissandos representing the nightingales sound too hard to me haha. Thx for sharing. Henry

PREVERT!!! 🤣

What MUCK! –SUCK—O CHARMANTE MUCK, SUCK! You know what pleases me! means I will leave to you guys! 🤣📯🎷🎤😘🎺🔔 😎

Was also researching Mozart's famous "CHUCK MUCK" letter, to his first cousin he called Bäsle who he was well, at 22 in 1778, and the rest of the letter has some particularly scatological puns that I will leave out, but is very long in a big text wall, because he was to be going to be going to see her soon, and the rest is very well written, but MUCK, CHUCK! –MUCK! –SUCK—O CHARMANTE! Mozart was just punning on a certain English cuss word beginning with F that he particularly liked! Mozart liked English and always wanted to learn it. He loved to say "good night" to his family every night and giggle at it, though gute nacht is almost the same! Muck, Chuck! | Mozartrazom

I wrote my first string quartet. I liked it while I was writing it, but now listening back I'm not so sure it would keep the attention of listeners. Maybe I regret opening with a slow movement. I think 2nd movement is best. I like the section in 3rd mvt. from 15:25 to 17:08, because of those chords and the counterpoint. And maybe I should have used more modern harmony in places to spice it up. 00:00 Movement I. 07:27 Movement II. 13:22 Movement III. Od. G. - String Quartet No. 1.mp3 Od.
