Wednesday at 03:41 PM4 days Hey guys! So over the weekend I composed the first movement of my composition “Philly”. This first movement takes place is the serene and turbid wold of north western Philadelphia. I remember as a young child living there and walking in the cloud scaped hills, as well as getting lots of donuts and pickles during the weekend. I hope you’ll look into my composition and give me feedback. I’ve already submitted it to a few ensembles which I doubt will perform it but eventually I’d love to get it performed by an ensemble in Philadelphia. Take a listen and a look!Audio:https://drive.google.com/file/d/15NoNQ7O-ghsDeWHVtaEqCI8skRZ8HZYA/view?usp=drivesdkScore:https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ri86LSqV7lzbPePIhvZUfSWYBEHnRsw6/view?usp=drivesdk

Wednesday at 06:51 PM4 days Hi there Nathan! Welcome to the forum, I do have some comments for you on this work. However, I prefer to keep it simple and annotate the score itself versus trying to type it all out in a single and concise comment. Lovely work so far and It'll interesting to see the other movements.
Friday at 09:12 PM1 day This post was recognized by PeterthePapercomPoser! MK_Piano was awarded the badge 'String Aficionado' and 5 points. "Another zealously outgoing review! I award you the "String Aficionado" badge for your outstanding YT demonstration of basic harp capabilities! Keep up the good work!" Hey @nathanstravinsky!I just finished my annotations and I am here to share! The attached PDF are my comments on your work. You will find a written out summary at the end. To add, I am attaching this 5-minute long YouTube video covering the Harp. I felt it important to make a dedicated video as some moments for the harp in your work were not practical for the instrument. For anyone else viewing this comment, it is a basic introduction to the harp for composers. Find both resources here:https://youtu.be/_Stiy-uh12k?si=luX9YTfy-8DASSxx N. Janco - Philly (ANNOTATED).pdf

1 hour ago1 hr Author Thank you very much, MK Piano, for the lovely annotated document! Not only has this information been crucial to Philly but I was able to make meaningful changes to a piece I will have performed at Temple University for wind ensemble. Your mouth is very well rounded. Also, I greatly appreciate the harp demonstration video. Thank you for all your dedication and thought. I am always changing and hopefully improving.
