Well done! I hereby award you the "Elegant Classicist" badge!" Hello I've recently decided to take orchestration seriously. Just as I did with counterpoint back in the day... Yes, although I study on my own, I have always been self-taught, at some point you need guidance from an expert. So I am taking a course in orchestration. It is really for a very small group (only four people), which means the feedback is very powerful, as each person's work is reviewed in depth. I've learned a lot about the classical style (paradigm: Mozart). Why and for what purpose each thing is used. And here I share my version (reviewed by my teacher) of the orchestration of the first movement of Mozart's Piano Sonata No. 5. Now I'm working on Mendelssohn.
1 hour ago1 hr Hi @Luis Hernández !Nice job on this orchestration! I did notice an apparent mistake in the horn parts in measure 6 - the top note should be (I think) a concert D (written A) since the harmony there is a G major chord. Overall though I think you really include a lot of fun interplay between the parts! I think it was very clever of you to fragment some of the phrases into question and answer contrapuntal roles. Like for example the interplay between the 1st and 2nd Violins in measures 28 - 29 is really a very creative orchestration decision! Thanks for sharing and I hope to hear more orchestrations!
