Largo for Winds in D

I composed this piece two years ago for a competition. I am quite fond of it so I revisited it and made some corrections and improvements; I had not yet uploaded a piece to my youtube channel along with the score before so I thought this would be a good opportunity to practice some basic video editing. It was quite tedious at first due to an error with the audio file but I now know for next time how to get around this.

This piece is scored for Flute, oboe, clarinet and bassoon (my favorite combination) and is in a galant / rococo style

Great!  A classically pleasant piece with its fair share of harmonic and especially rhythmic variety.  I know you set the meter at 6/8 in the beginning and it's definitely in 6/8 throughout most of it, but I do feel like it ends in 3/4 and at least the last 8 bars sound to me like they're more in 3/4 than 6/8.  That's just part of it's rhythmic interest and charm I think though.  I like this combination of instruments too, but what happened to the French Horn?!  LoL  Thanks for sharing!

Hey there! 

I agree with @PeterthePapercomPoser on all accounts - the piece is indeed pleasant to listen to!

I would just maybe add that it would be interesting more contrast throughout. Maybe a section in which just two of the instruments play (it could last just for a couple bars, it would already help the piece breathe a bit).

Just a detail - that is completely up to you to decide on - maybe some slurs could be notated differently for a better effect. For exemple the line that is played by the bassoon on measure 36, then by the clarinet. Do you want the bassoon to play it articulatin every single note, and the clarinet to play legato throughout? Also, maybe you could accentuate the playfulness of the idea by not adding a slur through the whole measure, but just before the stacatto notes, for exemple. Just something to think about.

Good work!
