PeterthePapercomPoser Posted 6 hours ago Posted 6 hours ago To critique these fragments so far as a piece of music: In the beginning, I can't hear the bassoon part. In general the whole piece sounds like it's being played either too fast, or it's too metronomic and mechanical and could maybe use some rubato. You've balanced all the instruments at the same dynamic - the melody should be balanced in high-relief above the rest of the voices and I think it would bring a much more musical impression. Those are the things that jump out at me as getting in the way of giving the music a more fair appraisal and of really being able to hear how good or bad it really is. It does seem like the intro is a bit meandering, but I can't tell without any accompaniment or even just hearing the bassoon part might help. But I do really like the structure so far of having the strings and Flute come in first, before the Oboe takes center stage. Looking good so far! Thanks for sharing. Quote
