Awesome work, and beautiful transitions, colorful and interesting rhythms. Truly sounds like something I'd have heard in an old Disney animated film on VHS. I really like this piece 🙂 However, just a couple of things to point out to ya. Some places, your rhythm notation, while the playback will play it correctly, and it's also technically right in terms of the notes covering all the beats in the measure, lets look at Measure 8 for the harp's Treble Clef staff. The rhythm notation there should be: ( ♩ ♩ 𝄾 ♪_♩ ) instead of ( ♩ ♩ 𝄾 ♩. ) because of that eighth note rest. gotta finish beat 3 off with an 8th, then tie into beat 4 with the quarter note 🙂 It's much more legible that way for a player, and it's just simply proper. This same thing happens in a good few other places in the score, from what I'm seeing. Although, while you don't have to do it that way, it's considered the formal grammar for rhythm notation, and if this were to be performed, the instrumentalists would appreciate it more that way! Also, the other thing I caught, was starting at b.32, with the violin solo there, ALL those accidentals!! You're still in the key of Db Major during that statement, except your notation reflects C# Major instead, hence the excessive amount of sharps and naturals seen there. Based on the playback sound, I'd assume you're using MuseScore Studio 4.4.4? If you select all bars within the sections with those accidentals, click the "Tools" tab at the top, and select "Respell Pitches" it should automatically correct all of that for you, in case you hadn't ever used those utilities before. But overall, my observations are just what I'd be sure to correct, if it were my score. I'm not an expert composer, just a musician with a knack for composition, who's untrained in the craft of doing so. The piece sounds wonderful, and I think would be an awesome piece to be played live and recorded. Appears to be pretty fun for all parts involved, and has a nice, well rounded and imaginative vibe to it, that I think is fairly brilliant! Do some'ore stuff!

Revisited this piece, after a few weeks off of messing with it. That always seems to give me a fresh perspective on things I've written, and helps me to identify areas where improvement could be made. I feel confident in saying that if I were to forget this piece, and return to it again, that I'd be happy with how it is in it's current state. As always, if there are any areas where someone with more expertise than I have is able to identify an issue or mistake, I'm all ears for the feedback! 🙂 Thanks, and I hope you all enjoy my little heartfelt piece of music Lamentation_-_Kyle_Hilton_UPDATED_with_Spitfire_Labs_VST3_Audio (4).pdf Lamentation_-_Kyle_Hilton_UPDATED_with_Spitfire_Labs_VST3_Audio.custom_score (1).mp3

Bagatelle in G major is a piece I composed in 2011. I was inspired when listening to Beethoven’s Bagatelle in G minor, op. 119 no.1 in my music lesson, and I immediately composed this piece that night in less than two hours. Here is the YouTube video and score of the piece: Bagatelle in G major.pdf The piece is in simple ABABCoda form. The middle section in C minor is probably due to my fervent love with Beethovenian C minor LoL! i revisit this piece because of @PCC ‘s showing of his manuscript in the discord group. I also wanna use this piece to test the new microphone I just buy. It sounds much better than my crappy phone, although with my bad recording skill this recording still has some tears in it. For me the piece is just a banal one, but not bad for a teen. I just wonder how do I transform from this level of writing to the piano piece ( ) in a year LoL! Here’s the Beethoven Bagatelle for your reference: Hope you enjoy this little piece! Henry

@Markus Boyd Yes.... The point is that it sounds very coherent both stylistically and for the transitions between parts, which are always fundamental. To me it reminds me of what Bellini did with the melodies, he prolonged them, lengthened them....

Whipped this up super fast 😄

Hi @UncleRed99, I like the arrangement! I think it sounds good. All those F naturals should be written as E# as it's in F# major at the beginning! I think in b.52 you can use a key signature with one sharp since the music is in E minor. Thx for sharing! Henry
