Hi all, I finished my new work that had no title ... It took a while to find a suitable name. But here it is. The Doors Opens As it states .... please walk through. Mark As always open to improvements or inquires. The Door Opens 11-13-26.mp3 The Door Opens 11-13-26.pdf

Hi there, in the opening I got this Scott Joplin feel and I became quite invested; however, that initial feel was lost as the material quickly progressed. I didn't feel/experience a particular direction in the piece either harmonically or thematically. It just seemed to wander. I would reexamine the opening theme and attempt to develop it further. Mark

Alex thanks for the suggestions and your take on the themes presented. Mark

As usual I did notice it! Yet, I didn't update it in the present score ☹️. A very bad habit indeed. Thanks, Mark

Hi, I really enjoyed the opening theme with its "jazzy" feel and motion. However, I was not as engaged with the second part of the piece starting at measure 34. Personally, I would have like some more variations (playfulness) on the opening theme. I didn't feel this mid-section change enhanced the work. Mark

A lovely piano miniature in the style of Erik Satie. Mark

A lovely lush work with interesting harmonies .... reminds me of pieces by Samuel Barber. Mark

Hi all, It's been a while since I posted an orchestra composition. This is the first draft ... it still needs to be reviewed and brought up a finished state. However, it's all here. As I stated I have not titled the work. I am open to all suggestions .... My objective in the composition is to develop the introductory motifs and create a balanced arch from start to the end of the work. As always all feedback it appreciated.

A "witty" "charming" work with a nice friendly "glow"! Mark

Have you thought about transcribing for accordion? Mark

Charming .... I hear/see a ballet here! Mark

It definitely holds you interest with your very creative orchestration. The woodwinds flow beautifully together and the introduction of the strings and subsequent merging are quite light and lovely. Mark
