Please check out my compositions and give me feedback on how to improve :D

Hello,

I recently started composing. I have a new hobby, LOL.

Maybe you guys would like to leave some feedback on my pieces here, so i can improve on my composing skills. I know very little about music theory in composing.

You can view my compositions on my youtube channel, here.

Trio for oboe, cor anglais and clarinet https://youtu.be/FhglfegXOpY

Greetings,

A malfunctioning harpsichord

PS: I know that harpsichord can't staccato, so please don't mention that after you looked at the first composition

Hi @BrokenHarpsichord!

Thx for joining the forum! You may just post seperate pieces here instead of posting your YT channel with all of your pieces! Which one would you like to gain reviews and feedbacks first?

Checking works here on the forum help improve your composing skills very much. As I see your more baroque style, you will benefit from checking works from @Fugax Contrapunctus, @Willibald, @muchen_, just to name a few.

Thanks! I did not know what was standard on this forum 😄

Ill add my recent and best compositions.

Hey @BrokenHarpsichord,

I have checked out your Duet for oboe d'amore and bassoon no. 7, you may take care of the following points:

Counterpoint: Since this one is in two part counterpoint, beware of the parallel octaves in b.2

Instrumentation: High register bassoon will be hard to play the mf at the beginning or f at the end since double reed instruments play softly on high register and loudly on low register. 

Nice try, thx for sharing!

Henry

Thank you!
