Hi! I'm trying to write Romantic-inspired pieces, but I struggle with a lot of things. I cannot figure out what it is. I've taken a look at some tuttis in scores (like Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1), but I didn't do well. To get a more "classical" vibe, should I reduce the harmony and leave just two voices (melody and bass)? Or should I double more voices in octaves more carefully? I should add that I didn't apply myself too much; maybe I should think harder and not just place random notes on the paper. For simpler reading, I can provide an excerpt of the score (it's very short anyway).
