Hello everyone. I haven't really composed anything interesting when it comes to orchestral music but I still wanted to share this miniature I wrote 2 years ago. 

Do you think it matches the style of Webern?

Hi @Ivan1791!

I think it matches Webern.  The one thing that is different, I think, is that Webern also serialized note durations.  It seems like you start the piece with mostly sustained notes, and end with a kind of shorter, more separated gesture.  But I don't think you should try to mimic Webern.  Personally, if you're messing around with serialism, I would try to find new ways of incorporating some tonal elements into it, so I guess more like Berg but in your own way.  I think the synthesis of the two approaches - tonality and serialism is where all the musically interesting potential lies.  But that's just my opinion.  Thanks for sharing!
