I am shocked that you said you are not an orchestration expert! You definitely are an expert for me with your ochestral works posted here! Henry

I am not an orchestration expert, so everything looks very fine to me and is well orchestrated. For the cymbals parts it’s best not to choose a decrescendo on an attack since the decay is already a naturally happening phenomenon. Other than that, I like how the brasses used throughout what you have provided.

In what? We haven't decided what competition we're going to hold yet! LoL

I'm in.

On my birthday, I will be in Poland, (again), so I decided to post this impro earlier! Allegro, Rondo. Adagio. Scherzo. Finale. 4 movements on Happy Birthday.mp3

But I am definitely in.

In this case it was about orchestrating the sketch in the image; I might even make a collection of mini orchestral studies with these kinds of things.

Thanks for the tip!.

Wow, thanks Wieland, I wasn't very sure of what you had been talking about, but those are some very helpful notes you've put in there and it does help clarify what you mean (and also very meticulously well-presented)! Cross-staff beaming, yes, that's probably easier to read than main gauche and main droit text. Hmm. I usually do this sort of beaming with other works of mine so I wonder how I seem to have forgot with this piece. MuseScore 4 is being fussy with me for this and I might need to brute force adjustments to make sure I don't get overlapping stems, noteheads, beams, dynamics, and/or hairpins. I don't have Elaine Gould's Behind Bars but do you know what the convention is for whether to put the beam above or below the midpoint? Here I've gone for the side that has the majority of the notes but I don't know if that is standard: Thanks again for your help, and I do have to say this already looks possibly a bit neater than having m. g. and m. d. smeared across the page. I'm always trying to give my scores a clean and readable look so any feedback is always welcome.
