Thanks for your suggestion! The transition was bad because I only thought about making a short piece. I didn't want to bore you guys. I'll make it better in the next piece.

If you wait until you know "enough," you will never start, because there is ALWAYS more to know. And as Maarten said, you learn a lot from trying to write. It gives you definite problems to experiment with (is this too high for an oboe?) and well-defined things to research (how do you make an ending feel like an ending?), so it helps organize your music theory reading (which otherwise can feel overwhelming, because there is so much to learn). You didn't need permission to start drawing when you were little, right? No one expected your first crayon sketches to be "good." It was just important that you were enjoying yourself, and you slowly gained coordination. No 6-year-old playing T-ball is "good" at baseball either. That's not the point. The point is to go ahead and start so you can enjoy yourself now, learn as you go, and get better over time. The best part about learning to compose is that, unlike drawing or baseball, it doesn't take up a lot of room for art supplies, and you don't have to worry that your ineptitude is holding back a team. It's hard to find a hobby that's less of a bother to other people, so give yourself permission to start. Have fun and welcome to the club!

First of all, great that you want to learn to compose! I can share my composing advice. When I started to compose, which is circa 2,5 years ago, I did not know anything about music theory. I did play saxophone and I learnt to play keyboard. So, I was familiar with reading notes and chords, but harmony, form, counterpoint etc. were terms I never had heard of. To be clear: my first compositions were garbage, but I am so glad that I wrote them. Every 'mistake' you make, will help you with composing the next piece. Experience and doing it is the key. I started to imitate and copy Mozart's first minuets so that I became familiar with standard forms and harmony. Furthermore, I listened to all kinds of music. Since you say that you already have some knowledge of theory, I think you should just start composing. When you do not like the result, do not delete it, but look why you do not like it and what you could change so that you will like it. Good luck!

Hi all, this is my orchstral piece. I hope you like it. Feedback is very welcome (Also on the video I made, accompanying the music). Score:
