August 19, 20232 yr Today I submit the second and third movements of my first violin concerto. The second is a calm cantabile episode, and the third is a rondo on scandinavian themes. Hope you like it! https://youtu.be/E9ntdJbCyIQ
August 25, 20232 yr It would be easier to critique with a score. I think the Romantic chromaticism of the second movement is quite effective. The third is nice, but sounds stylistically rather different from the second to me, more straightforward harmonically and more like late Classical or early Romantic. It's a pity the virtual instruments aren't more realistic - the orchestra often sounds good, but it's a little hard to judge the solo part, since it would obviously come off much better played by a human. Anyway, nice work on this!
October 20, 20232 yr I think I am hearing Musesounds when listening to your music, but then when the Solo Violin comes in I hear the MS Basic soundfont for some reason. ??? I think your rendering would be even better if you used the Musesounds Solo Violin too! 2nd movement - The trills in this rendition sound very mechanical and unrealistically fast and yet, I know that Musescore 4 and Musesounds are capable of realizing trills in a much more humanized way. So I'm puzzled by your rendition. I don't usually like slow movements but this piece was enjoyable and there was plenty of rhythmic contrast. The 3rd movement is a very nice rondo! I wish I could look at the score as well as I would be able to judge how difficult the Violin part actually is. It certainly sounds challenging with that trill combined with certain double stops! Thanks for sharing!

Finally I'm able to answer and I find a moment to do so. First, answering about the Musesounds... I just can't stand solo violin in the new soundfot (excess of gliss especially and all th weird dynamics things) and this is why I just decided to use the older "cleaner" version. Specifically about the movements, I'm glad to hear that you liked it, it was really interesting and enjoyable to compose it. About the third, this one is composed, definitely, in a more traditional way with much Vieuxtemps influence. The movement is based in scandinavian themes, first theme and trio. Here I attach the score and violin part.
