Hey Markus, I haven't seen you in a while, glad to hear you're still writing 🙂 I love these kinds of posts. It's really cool to hear your problem, then for me to try it out and mess around on it. Thanks for posting your thought process, as I can start with yours and see where that takes me. One idea I had was to let the clarinet be a pedal point for the E7. I had F for the "Dm" chord measure, but it didn't sound good to me. I liked the absence of the clarinet here, so maybe keep it simple if this thought leads you somewhere. For me, it helps to see the entire 4 bar phrase as E7. I know that one spot is tricky, but it just seems like a big cadence to Am (Also, this whole transition from Bb to F is wonderful and very smooth. Is it Am - C7 - F? I like the iii - V7 - I movement). If I look at it as E7 with a bunch of chromatics, it's easier to think about the clarinet. I came up with this pretty quick, I'm sure the notes could be tinkered with. I don't remember, but little rhythmic motifs you may have used could go well with the clarinet, I just came up with something simple. Oh, and our music player sucks lol. It's hard to go to a certain spot within a piece, so I think I've heard the first minute or so several times 😄 Hopefully some of these thoughts are useful 🙂 Great stuff, keep us updated! P.S. The bassoon starts on B nat. right?

This is actually a personal narrative. I generated the character names as pseudonyms for privacy reasons (so I don’t get yelled by the actual people.) This is all written in the perspective of Ross (the pseudonym for me). As you could see, this is a part three out of four parts and I have the fourth act already written. I just have to edit it and add the names. Feel free to check out the first and 2nd movement. It has some musical context along with the storyline. But thank you for listening to it. I always wanted an analysis or at least feedback of the piece. So definitely thank you

Hi @Fruit hunter! What a monumentally huge work! It's full of pomp and often very menacing and dark, but it's also not without its bright spots. I like your use of scoops/bends in the piece. I understand that in order to get Musescore 4 to perform those satisfactorily you had to use guitar notation? I'm interested in using the effect. I actually listened to your piece while reading a chapter from a PDF book on my laptop. Otherwise, I would probably not have had the patience to sit through a 40 minute work! LoL I love the dramatic tutti orchestral hits with what sounds to be an anvil accompanying (although I don't see it in the score at the beginning - I assume one of the percussionists must have switched instruments?). Nice ending! Quite an unusual progression of chords before the final bang! It sounds very incidental in many spots, often playing the role of background music for the scene you described being played out in the foreground (I presume). Did you come up with the story and characters yourself? You're quite the creative mastermind if so! Thanks for sharing!
