Mysterioso in E Minor is a piece I made for a full orchestra. It is approximately 3:50 long and has 122 measures. I'm looking for feedback on the overall composition and how well I orchestrated it. (P.S. I might change the name to "Adventure in E Minor" due to its wide range of themes, emotions, and tones.)

Alex I enjoyed your orchestration ... especially the use of different chamber sections: winds, brass, strings in the reiteration of the theme. Mark

would love fedback

In terms of structure: Introduction (b.1-8) A (b.9-24) B (b.25-40) C (b.41-64), I combine and develop both melodies from previous materials, while adding a new dance-like melody. Clarinet melody of b.41-42 and b.48-50 are from A, the ascending 5th motion of b.50-51 is from B. Clarinet theme gets repeated on the piano starting from b.53. B* (b.65-78), with the ostinato and thirds from the intro. Cadenza (b.79-100), contains materials from A and B. A* (b.101-120), I develop the theme a bit more with a climax at the end. B** (b.121-128), B theme with imitative counterpoint between piano and clarinet, transition to the Coda. Coda (b.129-142), the first part of which is the Introduction section paired with the B theme on the clarinet, b.137-142 is the beginning of A but more conclusive, b.141-142 on the piano is the B theme.

Thanks Mark! I seem to have caught the orchestration bug recently. Have made another one today, this time of a never previously orchestrated Prelude by Ravel.

A very engaging work .... which requires very skillful players! How would you categorize your work? It has some many different melodic elements. Mark

Definitely has a folk quality in the thematic presentation. There is a feeling of music from the Caucuses and well as the some slight Hebraic feel. With a bit more Hebraic influence/style - it could be a lovely nighttime pray. Mark

This work reminds me of There sections akin to your style. I enjoyed your experimentation .... Mark

Hello everyone, I present to you my newest composition: A waltz. Yes. I wrote another waltz. 🙂 Waltz Grazioso

This is a wonderful tender charming work. The thematic motif is endearing and the rhythmic gestures delightful. And the subtle harmonic movement creates a gentle push forward. Quite mysteriously romantic indeed! Mark

Lovely and simple

Really enjoyed your piece, @Kvothe Nice melodies, expressiveness, and a story telling writing ; that's what I like in music 👍 Regards
