Thank so much for replying back with score. That is truly helpful when it comes feedback. Let me start with positive(s): 1. I love the delicate, simple theme and how it is phrase. It flows rather nicely from measure to the next. Well done. 2. The under laying harmonic language is well done, too. No issue there. Now let us move to areas of improvement: 1. I notice you only have horn in f playing 3 notes! Horns can never do this! There are monophonic instrument. You will need 3 players reading that part then mark it a3. But that is not standard. Your score resembles a small size orchestra. So only one with one player. 🙂 2. This brings me to where can the foreground be placed. Best place: the strings. There are loudest in this group. You can 1st carry the melody. a 3. Background: Use the strings (marked at pizz.) at a mp and match bass left hand of piano sketch. Viola, cello, Bass. 4. Doubling parts: Add Basson to double bass part in part in strings. Second violin can double the first. the upper woods can provide harmonic support with horn player. 🙂

Why hello there, I thoroughly enjoyed listened to your waltz. Alas, without the score, I cannot give in depth analysis of it.

Kudos on finishing your first orchestral composition. As other have said, you are quoting others. I hear Venus! To me, this is beautiful. 🙂

Thank so much for the warm, kind review.

Hello Sameul, Shall we talk about the sinister colors of this atonal this piece? For there are many! I love dark piano acc., which follows that lush, lost violin line. It daunts us as listener to ever so much. Not many know the powers of atonal music. Here, you have master done that! Kudos.

Hello everyone, I present to you my newest composition: A waltz. Yes. I wrote another waltz. 🙂 Waltz Grazioso

The emotional warmth from this track is spot on, my friend. It reminds Appollo 13 in so many ways (I forget who wrote the score for that). I love opening horn line that is double by lush strings. Then, we hear pitch percussion. Just so many colors and tones...I could write entire essay on this, but I do not enough space for that. 😄 Kudos!

Note performer has ended its support VST3 libraries. This came after they release NP5 which allowed VSTi to preloaded (i.e. it used less ram and less CPU). They got back lass from this. So they did complete back flip and pull out. They offered downgrades.

For years, Those who relied on finale or Sibelus used either Garratian or Sib sounds. Both were decent sound set. No question there. Then came along Noteperfomer. This was game changer for us. It could music in new way that we never seen before. After v3, they brought VST3 plug ins to us. And yes, some where still ram and cpu heavy. This came with tech. (A large size libary with mic positions and full articulations will require more space and ram vs one that doesn't). They realize this, and thought it would be more accesible if instruments were pre loaded Alas, this idea was great. Some thought it was not. (looking at you VSTi companies). These same people align themselvs with muse score. and are selling a cheaper version there. *ugh* This. is. not. how. you. compete.

For balance, with the horns, a2 at forte is the same as one wood at same level. Ergo, 2 horns=1 wood at the same level should be fine. But also, remember timbral characteristics, too.

Well hello there, The first movement of this symphony is nicely structure! I see no structural problems. Kudos. However, after a first listening I do notice some balacing issues. The remedy is easy: follow what Rimsky says in his book and it should be fine. Ergo: 1 horn=2 woods and ect. I also notice that sometimes dyamics suddenly change. Maybe that is on my end. Check that too..

I feel I am bit late...

Hi there @Samuel_vangogh: I thoroughly enjoyed this short, modal piece. The quartet harmonies, which act as a background material, for the modal foreground theme is quaint lovely. It reminds me of how ravel wrote his Piano Preludes. What I especially love was the short cadenza. That truly showcased the Quartal harmony. Overall, you did a great job.

Why hello there, First: I must say that I never lost interest when I listed to fugue. I did not get listener fatigue. For we know how that can happen. 🙂 Second: The entries of the subject and the counter subject in each voice are done well. Third: May I ask why you use two piano score vs one?

As other have mentioned, it's a clearly well written. Interplay with the boucy reeds makes a fun piece. bravo.
