October 17, 20196 yr Great piece, two notes that you might want to consider: 1. The layout is kind of weird, I'd keep things in one stave (say, instead of three clarinet lines I'd put them as three voices when split and write "div" before and "unis" after), also I wonder why you put the percussion at the lower staves. Usually it's the strings. I'd get it if they had a way bigger role than the strings, but it's fairly the same. Which brings me to the second point: 2. Why won't you let the strings have an important role in the piece? I mean, it's bar-sized notes most of the time. I understand that you might not want to give them the bigger stage but this... try and open the notes from the first violinist's view and see what he sees.
October 22, 20196 yr It's a fantastic piece. I think it's quite beautiful and emotive. The euphonium part is interesting and varied, and will present a good challenge to play well.

In my personal (limited) experience, this is the standard layout for a band. I can't see the strings at all, am I missing something?
