Rômulo Mello

My first quartet, for violin, viola, cello, and piano. I've grown really fond of this piece especially the last movement. Strangely, I seem to struggle a bit in sonata forms, perhaps I get too carried away in the development section. Please give your opinions! I. Sonata form - g minor II. Ternary Form (B section only cello+piano) - g major III. Ternary form - c minor IV. Rondo - g minor

Hey, sorry for the late answer! I use Musescore

Thanks for listening. The volume is indeed too low. I will try to boost the overall output volume next time. About the passage at 15:20, it really sounds a bit off, maybe because of those 64th notes. It's better to stick to less extreme note values I guess.

Alright! thanks

Thank you for all the tips. I didn't say this before but I am an aspiring professional clarinetist, and I plan on doing my graduation in Germany after finishing my studies here in Brazil. That said, I already have social media associated with my clarinetist career. Do you think it's a good idea to mix both activities into one account?

My first concerto and one of my first orchestral pieces. I've written it in about 2 months, in a hurry to finish before my 16th birthday. The concerto is in romantic style and B flat major. It has four movements: I. Allegro moderato - sonata form, orchestra: 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 2 horns, 2 trumpets, timpani, and strings. (There is a cadenza before the coda for the soloist to write) II. Largo - ternary form, addition of english horn, bass clarinet, contrabassoon, +2 horns, 2 tenor trombones, 1 bass trombone and 1 tuba, harp, bass drum, triangle, cymbal. (In G minor) III. Scherzo - ternary form, 3/4 time, addition of the piccolo. Intended to sound like a Brazilian choro. (In F major) IV. Finale - rondo form, 12/8 time, addition of snare drum. I'm having some trouble achieving a greater visibility for my work. If anyone knows about competitions or something similar that would accept this style of composition I'd be very happy. As always, any feedback is appreciated!

Hi! Musescore has many weird playback problems so the suddent jump from mvt. III to IV and the thing with the violin in the second movement and the third movement where it suddenly disappears wasn't supposed to happen. Anyways, I'm not too worried with it because my works are written for real players not a program, so this isn't supposed to be an actual performance. Your thoughts are very interesting particularly the part about solving the tension too early in the ending. I will experiment with keeping it longer in my next sonata. Thank you!

I just used the coda as a scoring tool, without actual correlation with the structre of the movement. It makes sense I should use the coda only with the coda section (duh). Thanks for pointing it out and for the other observations!

Thanks! Didn't know that stuff about perfect cadences in every section ending. I'll be sure to pay attention in my next compositions

Hello! This is my first sonata for piano trio in a major key. Took me one month to write. I tried to give more emphasis to the violin part that can also be played by flute, and the cello part is a bit less developed. The keyboard part can be played on piano or harpsichord (of course, without dynamics on harpsichord). I tried to maintain a classical style but with some liberties. I. Allegro (sonata form) II. Largo (ternary form) (A major) III. Minuet (and trio) (A major) IV. Rondo (sonata-rondo form) Looking for feedback! Score video (violin and piano): sonata.pdf

Makes sense

A few months ago, I was at a concert with my local orchestra and they were playing a piano concerto (I don't remember what concerto it was). At some point during the piece, while the pianist was playing solo around the middle range I actually though I heard the violin section playing, but they weren't (it wasn't just similar, I genuinely though I was hearing strings for a split second, and only noticed I wasn't when I looked). A few days ago I was playing the piano myself at home and the same phenomena occured. Those were the only times this happened to me, and strangely I'm not able to force it, it just happens. Has anyone else experienced this?

Thank you for the replies! I think you are talking about the system breakers. Their purpouse is to make it visually for the conductor where one system ends and the other begins. Indeed, it is a mistake. Both should be E♭ Thank you for all the sugestions and observations! I will add seperate MP3s for each movement in my post.
