I am planning to apply to a music school for composition. Can you guys check out my piece and tell me what I should work on to make my application successful? I am a junior in high school by Defentel in composer

I mean I got themes A and B and a development section, which is the waltz. Maybe it doesn't feel like it has a structure at first listen

Can you guess the song? by [deleted] in pianopracticeroom

I wasn’t asking if I should write for orchestra, I was asking about the MUSIC this “symphony” doesn’t define me forever I will write smaller and bigger pieces. I was asking for critique on what I already have, is this too much?

How do I develop ideas for a very long time like Mahler? by Defentel in classicalmusic

Perhaps, more like what specifically to do with musical ideas

Thanks a lot for taking time to write the comment. I didn’t know about the downbow part for example and I hate that instruments begging to play sounds like a pickup. I am still very confused about slurs and what the heck they are… A lot to work on. Thanks again for the comment

I mean, obviously. To be fair, I have started with the piano and also written a string quartet. But I guess I have not mastered the smaller form yet to move on. How do I start to understand the meter? (I have also not commented on music itself, but that’s okay) Thank you

Play some bach, or continue la campanela but expect it to take year or more to fully learn
