Suite for horn, piano, bass and drums

Hi!
This two part suite is just something i started to experiment. 
First part propably reminds of some heavy melody. It is repeated 2 times. Only piano and soloist plays this part. 
Second part i got ideas from actually listening reconstruction of Delphian Hymns. This part is not repeated.
Both parts have quite long melody lines.
I am not sure if french horn can play the fast passages in melody part. But It looks like it suites for its range.

Hi!
Cannot help with the french horn doubt, sorry. I would guess that as long as it is within the range...I've listened to it and yeah it is fast but not exceedingly fast I believe.

• The first part sounds anime-esque to me for some reason. I more or less like how it sounds. However:

 I guess that putting the chords as text directly in the score helps you getting the sound you want fast and without the hassle of having to write a left hand. I find that only doing that gives the pianist freedom but ambiguity to the piece at the same time. You can play e.g: a C#m-F#m-E-A in a wide variety of ways as you know and from my point of view this removes all intentional voicing in the right hand that could sound beautiful and effectively improve the piece, leaving all that responsibility to the pianist.

 Another thing I noticed is that excess of non-compressed silences everywhere in the piano voice which can hinder readability. I think the very first bar is a good example of this. Not every silence should be compressed though and well, if you did this intentionally —because e.g: you find 2-3 8th silences easier to read than a quarter or dotted quarter silence— don't mind my comment. If you did not, I also think you could (for the sake of readability and with imo no loss of musicality in this case) replace those isolated 16th notes you have in bars like 8 and 9 with stacatto 8th notes.

 Finally and in order to get not too dense, a question: you say that it's just for piano and soloist but I cannot avoid noticing that in M25-28 you made the horn play two notes at the same time. So would two horn players play the same melodic line up to those measures?

• Let's get with the second part. I won't repeat any criticism that I have already written regarding the score, silences, etc. I like the bass voice, specially the very first 10 secs, and the piano voice near 1:45 is kinda catchy to my ears. I am not very convinced in the way the horn mixes with those two in the majority of it, but perhaps this is because of the sound output and not because of the composition itself.

 By the way, the horn line says "piano" and the bass line (I believe) says "Viulu" which is Violin in finnish according to Google. Finally, correct me if I am wrong but I don't see any use of a second voice for the drums in this case so... Why keeping it? 

Kind regards,

thanks for reviewing! 🙂that is informative.

Hi, it took me some time to understand the score. The second part is interesting, but definitely the horn (French horn, I suppose) is out of range. It seems more appropriate some kind of synth.
