Thanks to everyone for your comments. I appreciate it very much. When I say I don't want to study music, I mean that I don't want to go to any musical school. I want to study it myself. To find things out gradually. Twice a year I play at a concert at school. I like to play Chopin, Beethoven and other composers and I try my best to develop my music skills. When I say I don’t know the peculiarities of certain instruments I mean that a violinist would write something more appropriate for the violin because he plays it himself. I know the range of all instruments (thanks to Wikipedia), so why shouldn’t the orchestra be able to play it? If there are any mistakes (what can’t be played) I can correct them. It's a good idea to play famous pieces to the public and then by chance play my own piece. I think I should find an American company that needs a composer and send them one of my music pieces. If they like it and desire to use it (in a film maybe) they might buy it from me. That would show me that I don't write music in vain. But I must find a company which I could trust. I don’t want anybody to steal my music. “Hire an ensemble” – That would cost thousands of dollars. I think that the company should hire it when necessary. At the beginning I could offer piano music or synthesizer music. What I need is a start, an impulse.

I've been writing music for 5 years already. Now mostly classical but I suppose I could also write music for films. But everything I write is heard and appreciated only by my family and friends. I have no musical education (I dropped my piano lessons when I was 12. I'm 21 now.) I don't want to study music in any conservatory or musical university. I just want to write music. I want it to be heard. My music might be very beautiful and enchanting but it might be boring and not interesting at all. Let's assume it might be either. (I don't want to upload it to youtube because I'm afraid someone might use it for himself) So, I must take it somewhere. To someone who would listen to it, and, if it's really worth, use it somewhere. I write symphonies, so I need the sheet music to be corrected (by someone who knows the specifics of each instrument) and the orchestra to play it. Also I write pieces for the piano. Sometimes something on the synthesizer. WHAT SHOULD I DO? WHERE SHOULD I GO?? Thanks a lot! P.S.: I live in Russia. And I play the piano. Chopin, Bach, e.t.c. What I'm asking is where I could take the music. Not to write it just for myself. I want to write music, to be known as a very talented composer (If I'm worth anything that is), to be paid for it. Pop/rock artists just need a producer to promote them. What do I, a classical composer, need?
