Horn trio on January 13th (ft. low brass and winds).pdf

Hello,

I think it's a beautiful, thoughtful piece with careful harmonies. What I'm unsure about are the long notes in some places, but I'm no expert.

Hi Luis and thanks for the feedback! I am not an expert either, but I tried to make sure that the timings are sensible - hence why it alternates between the two horns (1&2) in the themes.

 

If you have any further thoughts all are welcome! I think with these minimalistic pieces I really try to find small things, like colours or feelings or smells or certain tactile sensations... So everything is very interesting to read!

 

With great thanks from Finland

Hi @PaavolaPyry!

I do like this minimalistic music, it's like the poem you quoted which reflect a passage in your life. I like the ending, it sounds oppressive with the bass instruments getting in in octaves. Thx for sharing.

Thank you! On the ending, if I may ask for advice, do you think the instrumentation would work, or are there some that could work better?

For instrumentation I think it’s already good, maybe I will add a contrabassoon to strengthen the lower octave. Motivically maybe I will add the descending chromatic motive instead of just Ab octave.
