Waltz in F Minor

first time I ever composed for an orchastra, would love to hear feedback

Why hello there, 

I thoroughly enjoyed listened to your waltz.  Alas, without the score, I cannot give in depth analysis of it.

Lovely! Keep writing, you've got natural talent and cool ideas 🙂 

As mentioned, if you use a software that creates a score, post that too! We can help with your writing and analysis more clearly with the orchestration visibly exposed. If not, that's not a worry either, and if you have specific concerns with your music just ask. People here are mostly pretty helpful and responsive. Especially @Henry Ng Tsz Kiu. In fact, he prefers it if you ask him lots of questions, even when he's asleep!

Just playing around, welcome!

lmao 
thank you : P 
as you can see in the other reply I've sent the score as well

Thank so much for replying back with score.  That is truly helpful when it comes feedback. 

Let me start with positive(s): 

1. I love the delicate, simple theme and how it is phrase.   It flows rather nicely from measure to the next. Well done.

2. The under laying harmonic language is well done, too.  No issue there. 

Now let us move to areas of improvement: 

1. I notice you only have horn in f playing 3 notes! Horns can never do this! There are monophonic instrument. You will need 3 players reading that part then mark it a3.  But that is not standard.  Your score resembles a small size orchestra.  So only one with one player. 🙂

2.  This brings me to where can the foreground be placed. Best place: the strings. There are loudest in this group.  You can 1st carry the melody.  a

3. Background:  Use the strings (marked at pizz.) at a mp and match bass left hand of piano sketch.  Viola, cello, Bass. 

4. Doubling parts: Add Basson to double bass part in part in strings.  Second violin can double the first.  the upper woods can provide harmonic support with horn player. 🙂
