April 14Apr 14 An emotional piece with a meticulously crafted score.The multi-divisional arrangement of the string section is particularly interesting.
5 hours ago5 hr It would be really cool to hear a large string orchestra play this piece. A couple of comments:It's a bit static and on the short side. I think more development of the melodic material, or even an another theme (that's a little more "active") can help with that. There is a lot of unconvincing, but slightly interesting voice leading and harmonic clashes going on. Some of the transitional chords really random and don't set up the next phrase like they should (most prominent example is bars 39-40 going into 41). It would it make more interesting to have the lower strings have a more active part than just holding on to half notes. The violins don't always have to play the melody, share it with the others! Try to be more creative in writing for parts that are accompanying the melody.
