  1. Why hello there @Luis Hernández! I have listed, below, some things to help you: 1. It is more common for Horns to be notated in treble cleft these days. This will be help you a lot when you condense the horn parts: Two Treble lines for HR 1, 3 and HR 2, 4. 2. When you have parts are divi, you can use a2. 3. I see a dovetailing/over lapping. Just think logically where the rest should go. On the overall presentation: Great job.
  2. If you are aiming to be like Malher, you have huge shoes to fill. Per section: Triple or Quadrable woods, 6-8 horns, 4 trumpets, 4 trombones, 3 tubas (I think a wanger tuba); percusion, and strings. That is a large orchestra to write for. I recommend not writing for that. Not at first. Trying writing for string orchestra first. and then go from there.
  3. I can only see the cover page of the score of the pdf....
  4. HI @PeterthePapercomPoser I can tell you are enjoying these exercises! I love how you use the harmonic and melodic motives that he presented thorough out the entire piece. I think we need to have something like this for YC challenge. 🙂
  5. I have heard that JW does use 8 staves, too @PeterthePapercomPoser. Writing out a sketch would help me. I am slowly learning orchestration (Adler's Tome is a lot to take in). My recommendation would be: master piano writing! 🙂
  6. As usually @Henry Ng Tsz Kiu piano emotion depth is enjoyable. You can hear phrasing, dymanics, and thematic material that pianist would create using their emotions.
  7. Since this is a composition form, it is difficult to have to have live performances, I will ask this: What are your thoughts regarding Note Performer? @PeterthePapercomPoser @Aiwendil Here are mine: NP has it owns instruments that are used in playback in notation play back. Thus, this is similar to how VST library operates: each library is. They have they own instruments. It cannot replace DAW and those VST. When it comes to mock-ups, composers usually work with in daw. But they could use NP, too. The studio string orchestra that performed my piece was sent a midi mock up with score and parts. I.e. I am fine with a midi mock-up with score and parts (either from daw or using NP). But I am not fine with something like Suno. That is not mock up! I hope this helps
  8. @Fruit hunter Cant is not what being referred here. That is more score play back and it is not AI. Same goes for NP. Walden is similar to what one would do in a daw. Those are fine. What is not Suno. Suno is completely AI. No perfomace at all. It just words written into app and then creates music? but how?
  9. I also noticed something: In your horn parts, you have one two horns, but it the scores implies 4?
  10. Hello @Thatguy v2.0 After I thoroughly listen to the piece, here are my thoughts. Playability: The prelude is certainly playable for pianist at late intermediate through late advance skill level. Everything is well marked throughout the score. (There are no questions about the accidentals). Motive(theme): The theme is well devolved thorough out the piece. Harmony: The harmonic colors underlaying the minor theme create sense melachony. 🙂 Form: A, A1. A2 is well done. Tone(taste): This piece reminds me of Pictures of exhibition in some way. I love Mussorsky works. 🙂
  11. Hello everyone! Time for hot debate. Which book do you use a reference when use check your engraving? Behind bars or Stone's and why?
  12. MOLA guidelines, for some reason, say do not list the timpani part. I do not understand the reasoning behind this.
  13. @Aiwendil Exactly. Those who favor AI do not want it monitor and regulated. But there was incident in holiday contest where someone used suno. Imagine Suno was used in real life. Then what?
  14. Follow up: If there is sub-forum for AI, how will that impact the forum as a whole? How do you review entries with AI? See, this is dilemma we are facing. My position stands: We should regulate and monitor if users Suno. Ban it from competitions. And not have a separate sub form AI. If AI is abused, then ban it. If it is used in with other sub forums, @UncleRed99 idea is great. Industry standards should be allowed. As usually, provide a score (if there is one) and an audio file.
  15. @TristanTheTristan I can help you
