Good start, though it seem as if it lacks a sence of rhythmic and harmonic direction. It may be helpfull for you to outline the melodic and harmonic ideas, and complete a rough sketch of what you want to write before actualy writing it. It may not be halpfull to you, but it is to me. Good luck with this.

That is very depressing. I think that if you developed it some more, and held off on the loud dynamics untill the end, it would be a lit more powerfull. Cool piece. I'm sure the midi does not do it justice.

I really enjoyed this piece! The first movementwas very creative.

Thanks. I agree with you on that, I'll definatly change it before I make the final copy.

This is a piece I wrote for a small chamber group I am in. It is realativly simple, and we will be playing it in about a month at a school concert. I was hoping for a little feedback on the piece, as well as some last minute changes I should make. Enjoy! ;) Sonata in Eb - Score.mid Sonata in Eb.pdf

Sounds Very Authentic! You should keep writing in this style.

Here are my top five: 1.End of Sibelius 2 2.The second fugal section of the last movement of beethoven's ninth (when al the parts are moving under the suspended soprano note) 3.End of Maslanka's 4th symphony 4. The beggining of the recapitulation of Rodrigo's Concerto de Arunjez 5. The part in Dvorak's 9th, in the last movement, when the first part of the main theme of that movement is repeated, over and over, then overtaken by the triplet theme. My apologies if I was incoherent in my desciptions.

Watch out for the range on you horn parts, especialy on page three-four. They are very high.

I've found that when accompanying strings, you would do well limiting yourself to a small ensemble with no more than three or so players. I would reccomend perhaps a trumpet, horn and trombone.

That lux Aeterna is dervived from the main theme from the movie reqiuem for a dream, and is played by the kronos quartet. It doed noy have any correlation to the requiem mass, but is still a good piece you can get the sheet music here

I put the PDF up where the .sib document was.

I find the structural and harmonic intracasies of his works simply amazing. I find his counterpoint intreaging, and his music never gets old to me.

Her is the finished 'prelude and dance for flute and piano.' It is based off the vauge and broadly defined theme of "a minor arpeggio + I V I chords" The prelude i imagine would be fairly easy to play on flute, but I amagine that the Dance is harder.

The link does not work.

Thanks! I ended up going for q = 104.
