A Ko

Hi @danishali903, thank you for all of your suggestions + for your support! I'm a string player, so I definitely have a lot to learn about writing for winds and have my editing work cut out for me (I'm going to put the 1.s and the 2.s for clarity, and will definitely make edits to the weird clef stuff haha). I also agree with you that Rhapsody may not fit very well, so I'll be thinking of more creative names in the meantime. How would you recommend adding trumpet or additional trombones? Should I try converting one of the horn parts into a trumpet part? Would you recommend adding a second trombone? Thanks! 😄

Hi @MJFOBOE, thank you for listening and your question! I like listening to a lot of late-romantic symphonies (Mahler, Sibelius), and I wanted to compose something that sounded natural to me. This piece tries to incorporate elements of symphonic works that I like (harmonies, chord progressions, etc.).

Hi everyone! This is my first piece for full symphony orchestra, first post, (and my first "completed" composition: a lot of firsts), and I'm definitely still learning how to orchestrate better, create nicer textures, and pace my compositions/develop melodies (all for fun, I just like listening to music and playing a little bit haha, so I don't have any formal composition background). This piece was inspired by various Romantic composers (with quotes from my 3 favorite symphonies--one is really obvious but I'm interested to see if others will recognize the snippets I tried to include) and includes two central themes. I'm open to all the advice I can get! Thanks for your time! PS. my score is really chaotic and I still need to clean up all the accidentals and stuff.
