November 27, 20196 yr Aren't the phrases too long? In some parts the piano could be more elaborated. The melody is nice. Just a question. can the euphonium play glissando downwards?
December 10, 20196 yr Not sure how well the bends/etc. will work with euphonium, due to the valves. Buuut I spend all day around Jr. High and High School musicians, so I'm sure my perspective is skewed lol. Also the key of A Major is less forgiving to brass instruments than the key of B-Flat (just a half step away!), or even A-Flat. They should be able to manage without issues, but from an orchestration perspective you might consider writing in a key that compliments that instrument's overtone series a little better 🙂 Good melodies and accompaniment, overall a very solid piece!

December 25, 20196 yr Quartal progressions were interesting, especially over a pedal pitch. One thing I noticed was the piano's textural rigidity between sections, some more contrapuntal stuff with the solo might be nice.
