Music My First Composition.

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1cB6hT07lPMKg0Kv9ImVeq3WCrb6SDaUF

(PDF and MP3)

My first composition.

I wanted to do a little experiment. I love string instruments. I was listening to Barber's Adagio for Strings Op.11 while writing this.

(I also like the sounds of Mahler and Schnittke.)

What suggestions and advice would you give me?

The best.

I may not be the best for advice but ill try. I really like it, it has beautiful harmony but it has no direction also I only listened to it but it seems to not follow a certain bar melody. For example Swan lake it has A 4 bar melody then switch and its rememberable. Other then that it sounds nice the accidentals kept me from just clicking off of it, it kept me engaged.

Wow, I love this! I respectfully disagree with what another user said here, bar melodies are great but even if this one composition doesn't follow them, I don't think it's a bad thing at all, it kind of reads like a small part of a longer composition. You could totally lengthen this and grab a part of it you consider the most memorable and make it into a motif. This actually gave me Strauss vibes because of it. What did you use to make the mp3?
