The walnut overture

I decided to continue working on another piece called the walnut overture. It’s supposed to be a light, airy and bouncy song. Let me know how you like it. It should be finished soon.

Hi @Hc123,

It has got an interesting name! Why is it called a "Walnut" overture?

For me at least the first part is not quite light and airy when you use the trumpet for the melodic instrument. I'm sure a woodwind will do a better job for that! Also the texture is somewhat too thick for it. When you change the thing in 0:40, the tempo is slower but it's still not light there with the cello ending. The F Aeolian is quite a heavy key for me too! Maybe a D minor will be better if you want it light!

Yes, there is something strange about the texture, or the sound mix. Maybe it is to check the possible interference in register of the bass instruments.
In the first part I think the trumpet sounds a little rough accompanied by more brass.
I don't know, the trumpet is always difficult, alone or in the ensemble.

Light and airy is a bad choice of words, bouncy yes. I was envisioning some type of fall festival and walnuts dropping from trees also was on my mind lol. So I just called the walnut overture, originally it was dance. Your right the trumpet is a harsh in places.

thank you guys for the feedback!

Something I notice is that at 0:34 the trumpet has very little time to pop their mute into their horn.  I don't know if you have multiple trumpets and if one of them can stay muted while the other can stay ord. as that would solve the problem.  I also think the overall mood/vibe of the piece is quite melancholy and doesn't sound appropriate to the your intention.  At 0:40 with the low string lines it really starts to sound very heavy and labored - quite the opposite of "boundy".  But those are just my thoughts about the piece.  Thanks for sharing!
