Need critique on a classical orchestral piece I wrote.

Featured Replies

I wrote a classical orchestral piece called "Life is too short". I need critique on what's done so far.

Could you please upload a score so I/we can look it over?

Upping this, still need critique. I'll add a score later.

without a score, it's rather difficult to comment on this.

if you mean "classical" as in you're trying to compose something "in the style of", then there seem to be some major errors just from listening to it. There seem to be some awkward parallel 4ths in a prominant melodic passage, for example, as well as what appear to be some rather strongly dissonant non-chord tones that are not being prepared/resolved correctly.

again, without a score, it's difficult to tell you exactly what the problems are. all I can say is "it sounds wrong". that's not really enough of a critique for you to learn and change from, is it?
