Hi, I've composed a sketch of a mazurka, it's in progress at the moment, so please let me know if the harmony or melody could be improved. What do you think of the orchestration of solo piano? Attached are the pdf and midi files. Thank you, DoYourDailyDuo Mazurka.mid

This piece Persia II is a "sequel" to my "Persia" from 2011. Some of you in this forum suggested I'd right a suite or something in that direction, so I decided to try it. I do not want feedback on my old piece (Persia) in the YouTube link. I'm only attaching it so you can listen and hear the connection between the two. - Does this sequel "Persia II" work as a part two? - Will it be playable at written tempo? I want it to be the same tempo as "Persia", so it will feel as a double time. - See what I did with Da Capo? 🙂 Could it work?

Hi @malumCompositor ! Well, thanks for your first sentence : that's the main point ! About the lack of structure : yeah, it may be so, I'm getting more concerned, step by step, with introducing more structure in my orchestral works, taming the original inner flow. I don't see any non-intentional harmonic clash in my piece. Also, the violin arpeggios you point out at 3'40 don't seem confusing to me, they are just background ornamentation ; I had more interrogations about the part at 2'15 in the third movement... Thanks for reviewing 🙂

Thank you! While I had more something like Mahler/Strauss/Korngold in mind, Elgar's a composer I admire a lot, so his influence popping out here somehow doesn't surprise me. That flutter tongue at the end is actually the only spot in the piece that really concerns me! The 1st trumpet always plays a bit high (I'm more used to C trumpets, but most bands use Bb instruments), and I think I read somewhere that fluttertongue that high was quite hard, and that's combined with the fact that the player's supposed to attack a high note without an intervening rising scale. I wouldn't be surprised if the trumpeter hated me, but I only have contact with the 1st horn, for whom I wrote some of the nicest parts.

Hello all. It's been a difficult couple of years, so I haven't really been on the forum at all. However, I felt that it might be nice to give a bit of an update on myself and some of the music that I have written in that time. Since I left, I have experienced a variety of personal trials and I have about quadrupled my portfolio to an opus number of 80. I have earned my Master's degree and I am composing regularly. I am unsure how frequently I will post, but I do plan on adding some of my music to the pile. This piece is for violin and piano -- though originally composed for Wagner tuba and piano (the original), and it has an alternate alto saxophone/piano score. The work is based on Jean Metzinger's painting "La Danse (Bacchante)" and it replicates the subject's trance-like appearance.

Thanks a lot for all your help comments and kind remarks. First I was hesitant about releasing the song but when I heard your comments, especially Papagenos about the melody (which I will never forget), I decided to have it recorded. What I realised here was that the oboe-melody that I actually wrote 2013 was so low in register that I could rather had written it for English horn, since it's much easier to keep the intonation in higher register. This wednesday we released it on YouTube. Enjoy:
