elysian Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Hi, New member here. I am glad to have found this forum. I have a question on composing orchestral pieces, especially the background/accompaniment. Do musicians (playing the background) simply follow the lead instruments like violin/viola? Thanks, Elysian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Der Klavierspieler Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Maybe at first while you're still learning the ropes of balance and whatnot, but ideally you should have lots of interplay and dialogue between the parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SYS65 Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Wow, what a question!!! how would I answer that ? no idea, Do the colors are "following" an specific color in a painting ? Everything is part of everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
froglegs Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 If you have dialogue between the parts, everyone is happy (as long as the violas get a fair go) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
