David_DLM Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Hello! I wanted to share with you a waltz suite I finished. I made it for a lady who really enjoys having fun, dancing, talkinig, being herself, and overall enjoys life. I will play it for her when the time comes. But for now, I will share it here. Let me know what you think! I hope you enjoy it and it makes you feel like if you were in a 19th century ball. And yes, waltz 3B is inspired by Strauss II Die Fledermaus Overture 🙂 Ps. Ignore my lame attempt in the youtube video when I tried to make a NAXOS video with that image. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tortualex Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Pretty good, was pleasant to listen to, unfortunately I'm pretty much a troglodyte when it comes to writting for larger ensembles so I can't give a good critize, even less without sheet. But for what I heard I think you did pretty well with your themes, maybe they sound a little stereotypical of what you will hear in a waltz but somehow you managed to make them sound original, the only criticize I have is that sisincu have multiiple insitruments, you should try to make the repetitions of the main theme a little different each timieee, that ttwill help to keep a simple piece like a waltz pretty insteresting at all times. You can hear something like this in shostakovich waltz no.2 to put an example. Overall good work, keep composing :3. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you so much! I will share the sheet in case you want to take a look at it. The piano score on top was just for guide since I did it for piano first. Very few changes were made from the piano to the orchestra, most being just harmonic changes. Nicola for orchestra.pdf | DocDroid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJFOBOE Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Yep ... it definitely sounds like a Strauss waltz. My only suggestion is maybe the brass could also carry the melody at times - with maybe a touch of variation on the theme. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkho Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Pretty much Strauss reincarnated which I think was your intent. Good job! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe in the 4th waltz cornets or horns could carry the melody asking and strings answer. I will take that into account for the next one.
