March from the cycle of musical illustrations to Max Dalin's novel "The Bonfire and the Salamander." Composer: Alexander Khomenko. A stylization of early 20th-century military marches. Written for wind band.

I listened to your waltz. The concept strikes me as interesting, and so does the way you work with harmony: you clearly try to move away from conventional progressions. The semitone relationship between the triads sounds interesting and vivid. But, purely in my opinion, it isn't very well realized here. If you make a signature feature out of this progression, it should be carried through the whole piece, very clearly and consistently. Yet in bars 6–7, and again in 9–10, you break your own scheme, and the piece goes from interesting to a bit dull. If you had held on to this harmonic ostinato (G minor and F-sharp minor), it would have come out much more convincing. Good luck! =)

Thanks for posting the update. For the voice-leading question, you could choose one short cadence and post those bars with the vocal parts, bass and your continuo realization visible. That gives readers a manageable example to discuss, and you can apply the idea elsewhere rather than revising all 18 sections at once. If your choir-notation question is about the older clefs, label that separately so readers know you are asking about readability rather than transposition.

The allegro below was an earlier movement for a wind quartet (back in 2019) that now contains lots of revisions. At the time, I thought it was 'perfect' but almost 10 years later, evidently it was not! 😬 Second movement recycled from another standalone piece I had made for wind quintet originally. The Rondo is a work in progress. Currently working on the C section (minor). I quite like the theme... think it is catchy.

listened to your quartet and thoroughly enjoyed it. It's a finely crafted neoclassical piece. You've both preserved the style and built a very clear form, which is extremely important for works of this kind.
