March 13, 20251 yr incomplete symphony orch. piece... My latest project. any suggestions for improvement? (The currently written notation is also not fully fleshed out so some voicings within the chords are also still missing.) Edited March 16, 20251 yr by UncleRed99
March 16, 20251 yr Hi @UncleRed99, The score in the video is too small for my old eyes so I don’t check the score at all haha. For me I think you make good contrast between solo and tutti passages, and the timbre and dynamic is varied. I conceive this 3 minutes as the first section of a Symphonic Overture which is entirely in F minor with its own climax. Maybe it would be great to have a contrasting section a serene major key, let’s say Ab major or F major for me. The climax is pushed here by orchestral colour and contrast, not by harmonic progression, so maybe you can do that more in the contrasting section. Thx for sharing! Henry

I added a new video attachment with further progress. This will now show the direction I'm headed. (I didn't know I was gonna end up there, either. Modulating from F Minor to Bb Major 😉 (I think. I'm good at knowing what it's supposed to sound like, but I get my keys mixed up easily, when it comes time to discuss anything 🤣... Curse this ADHD I have. Makes things all squiggly. But You're much more intelligent than I am so I'm sure you'll see the difference better than me even on my own score xD) But either way, I haven't fleshed anything out other than the chords I want to hear for the progression in the next section. Have yet to come up with a melody and counterpoint for it so far... Edited March 16, 20251 yr by UncleRed99
