June 21, 20178 yr This was a project I did for English class where I wrote a duet for french horn and piano to represent the two ways the character Caliban is viewed in Shakespeare's play, the Tempest. The outside sections show him as a devil, the inside shows his humanlike qualities. I would love to hear feedback on this!
June 22, 20178 yr 1. Horn in C, huh? 2. Your horn doesn't really play what you have written rhythmically. 3. You should use a key change to C major/F major instead of keeping the C minor one. 4. C major doesn't really capture the point of humanity in that play? 5. It also doesn't have a lot of drama, especially from a live performance. I think the orchestration can either be more rich or more fluid in each of the devil sections. Contrast is important, as is the composer's job to think about audience complacency. I think your ideas are cool, they just need to go further!
