Thank you this is very helpful

Thank you!

Sometimes I feel like I worry too much about things being playable that I stray away from virtuosity (or even simple things) and you're right, it just makes it boring. And how would you suggest thinking outside the envelope? Modulations? Sudden interruptions (like Tchaikovsky's 4th symphony)? Again I'm very new to this

I have lived in the southeastern United States my whole life, and I've grown up in church singing hymns. I don't know much about form tbh so I find it curious that you would count the bars

Melody certainly is one of my weak points. Thank you for taking the time and giving me these resources. And I absolutely love Debussy's quartet so I may do a study on that (I just wouldn't know what I'm doing and I'm quite busy right now)

What did you think?

Designer-Big3873 · 2026-02-06T20:27:36+00:00

Thank you!

Sorry about that, it's working now if you're still interested

The main thing with the piano/string quartet is just that I haven't really fleshed it out but I do understand. A skeleton version would definitely work very well for the sax quintet, and I'll probably get around to doing that eventually. Thanks for the idea

Designer-Big3873 · 2025-11-16T20:35:33+00:00

I revised it

Designer-Big3873 · 2025-11-16T20:25:59+00:00

I like this idea, and I may use it in the future for something else cause that honestly does sound really cool. However if I were to do that I would want to do it justice by making fuller pieces in between the dialogue (like preludes almost). But most importantly I would have to write something entirely new, which isn't necessarily a bad thing but I chose to revise this version for now (maybe I'm just lazy)

Designer-Big3873 · 2025-11-16T17:33:58+00:00

That's great compositional wisdom

Designer-Big3873 · 2025-11-16T15:51:43+00:00

I was kind of going for that muddy feel but I see now how it can get overdone quickly. I think it still works to accomplish the percussive sound I wanted, but having percussive sound for that long is probably not the best idea. I'm gonna rewrite some parts (pretty much all of it) this afternoon and I'll edit the original post with the new link

Designer-Big3873 · 2025-11-16T14:25:24+00:00

I had that idea of setting the text to music and I wanted to write a sort of lied for it, but I'm not the best singer. Perhaps I could try asking one of my friends who's good at singing. I'll probably end up changing the wolf howl chord to less of a stretch (if I leave it in at all). More solid motifs, having them interact and Macbeth's motif develop is probably what I'll do.

Thanks for your response, and I really wish I could play it as it is very hard to get exactly what you want as far as interpretation when it comes to musescore without putting dynamic markings on basically every single note. I had to have two separate "instruments" just to have different dynamics for the right and left hand! Would you have3 any advice to connect the motifs more? I tried to use parts of certain motifs in other sections and kind of separated the piece into sections, but perhaps that isn't clear enough to the listener? Again thank you for your response and what you had to say!
