June 13, 20241 yr So, last month I made a little orchestral practice while being on an online orchestration class with my conductor (as teacher). Firstly starting by composing a piano piece, then strings, then add woodwinds, and finally percussion. Despite conductor applauding for my practice, I felt like the final product is lacking some content that could make the music deeper in heart... I would need some comments on how to improve it qwq Here with the final product with all instruments shown, the audios, except the pf original one, have no piano however, as requirement by the teacher.
June 22, 20241 yr Hello @SisselOnline! Great job! I like both the original piece and the elaborated version for full orchestra! I do question why you didn't include Piccolo, Bassoons nor Contrabasses? I like the gradual thickening of the texture and holding off on adding all the instruments until the answer part of the melody comes in - that is a great strategy. Now that you can do this I think you should search the internet or this forum for original piano pieces that you might want to orchestrate! If you find something unique that you really like it could be a really rewarding experience to have orchestrated a fellow contemporary composers' music. Of course - you should ask for permission before starting. Thanks for sharing!
