Hi @olivercomposer, I really like this piece. I think it would be even better if you used more dynamic variation. For example, I think the beginning should be much quieter. This would create a more mysterious atmosphere, and make the climaxes later even more impactful. Thanks for sharing! -gmm

Hi Peter, I like how you've painted a vivid tone picture with this piece. Think you made the right choice to write 'frolicking' in English instead of Italian! Just wanted to ask with the glissandi in the piccolo, whether the first note should always represent the full duration of the glissando? I've sometimes seen them written with rests in the middle (or even with invisible rests). Also wondering what sample libraries you're using in this piece? Alex

For me it's always the sound first in my head, then I will jot them down as note form. I seldom write the initial ideas as note form earlier than the sound in my head. It's only when I will have to work on the passages I will use pen and write them as note, otherwise I will let my subconscious to do the job and provide the product for me, given how lazy I am haha.

You can ask @PeterthePapercomPoser for that haha. For me it acts as the susidary method for composing. I mainly use PC and IPAD for composing now, but also have a sketchbook to jot down the ideas and roughly sketch and develop them in the book.

seems to me like that would be schonberg

Yes, my bad. Point still stands though.
