Nutcracker inspired final

nutcracker inspired final.pdfmy submission :3 I'd like to get reviews ofc

Considering this was above your usually level, then you did a really good job here. Fun motif, excellent dynamics and an overall wintery sounding mood! The piece is also very well structured and easy to follow. The only minor criticism I have is that you stayed strictly in key, but I'm pretty sure this was a conscious decision. If this piece hit the 2+ minute mark, I may then press you a little harder to break out of the scale a tad.

Hi @Tunndy!

I think there's a lot of warmth to your orchestration!  I love those shimmering glockenspiel and triangle ostinati.  Some of the things that wouldn't sound idiomatic are the sextuplets in meas. 35.  It's unrealistic for the Harp, 2nd Violins and Violas to enter on a sextuplet off-beat like that.  It would be better for them to play a note on the downbeat as well if you want that to be performed together.  Thanks for sharing and Happy New Year!
