September 15, 200916 yr There might be no better experience in the field of composition than working with real people performing your music live. :) What ensembles have you written music for that got a live performance? What's the largest ensemble you've worked with? Have you branched out into conducting? And what were your thoughts about these experiences? I have worked with: cello-piano duet string quartet brass quintet chamber orchestra (2/2/2/2, 2/2, timp, perc, strings) The latest and largest orchestra I'm working with right now is double woodwinds, 4/3/3 brass, timp and perc, and a decent sized string section. It's a BLAST. After several months of hearing your piece performed by the lame GPO orchestra through 10$ headphones, hearing it performed by the real thing is unbelievable. :)
