  1. Stunning stuff from what I hear! Some people seem to complain a little bit about it not going anywhere, but I think I can see the very slow development of it from my perspective at least, and I don't got any comment on the actual composition. Generally, the composition is great I just have some small nitpicks on the engraving that I think would go a long way in making the score look more professional/ be more readable to others. All of this is easily fixable, like changing how the instruments are displayed on each system. From movements 2-3 there's a small line connection thing that joins like instruments, but that aspect isn't consistent in the first movement where like instruments aren't connected to each other. Consistency in that, in my opinion, would help in making sure the score looks like one full composition. I would also note some collisions. There are places throughout the score where the slur comes fully in contact with the notehead or articulation, and this leads to less clarity in the engraving. Dynamics are also not aligned consistently. There was a spot (forgot the timestamp) where the middle dynamic was positioned far down from the hairpins which might result in less clarity for musicians reading this piece. Dynamics are also on occasion closer to the part below it or so close to its part that. In fact, there's a lot of compactness in the score and not a lot of room for conductors or performers to write down notes or see things quickly with clarity. I think a potential fix here is to increase vertical space between parts and decrease vertical space between some systems where there is a large blank space (nothing crazy though to make sure each system is still separate. If possible, I would also add a system divider.) You could also scale staff space down by some small amount to make for more space, but don't go crazy otherwise it might be so minimized it's not legible at a distance. If you would like, I have a full engraving book pdf called "Behind The Bars" that I could send you just to look through. I think doing this would help in getting your, quite frankly, amazing work get played live or be published professionally. Again, amazing composition, and I'm looking forward to hearing more from you!
  2. As of now, my best work! Hope you enjoy
