Symphonic Prelude

Today I submit my most recent composition. This time I'll leave the music explain itself. Hope you enjoy it!

Hi @Nazariy!

What a wonderful Mahlerian tour de force!  Although on second listen, it also sometimes reminds me of Wagner's Prelude to Lohengrin.  The piece begins with an underwhelming chromatic theme which leads contrapuntally to some beautiful harmonies.  There are many Mahlerian moments such as the sudden sforzando horns at 0:59, 7:06.  And of course the many typical chromatic inflections that help your themes develop harmonically.  There are some spots that to me sound like the phrase was suddenly cut off or concatenated or like a more fully developed/worked out phrase was forthcoming or implied.  1:13 and 7:24 in particular are spots that sound like they were perhaps poorly spliced together or like a longer and more thought-out transition is needed to make them mesh well together.  But I perceive these spots as the only weaknesses in a piece that is on the whole, very enjoyable and lucid throughout its duration with a satisfactory ending/conclusion.  Thanks for sharing!

Peter is the analytical king of YC, you'd do well to heed his advice. 

I thought the transitions were ok though. Maybe the textures were a bit "samey" to my ears, but I feel like I say that to everyone, so it's probably just me. Wonderful work, you should post more often! (even if it's to say what you like or don't about someone's music). 

Your melodies remind me of the Czech composers ... i.e, Dvorak and Smetana.  They are lovely and lush with lots of sentimentality.
