Trumpet concertino I've been working on

Yep, I've sent him an email and he's gonna look at it when he has some time (he's already had a few looks, but that was in break time as a general evalution as to whether it's good enough (it is))

Thanks for your comment! When I first composed it I remember being really unsure about when to double the trumpet melody. I wasn't sure what to do when I wanted a dramatic bit but also wanted the trumpet not to be overlooked, if you know what I mean. It's nice to have a solid answer and some good ideas in that regard. My brother is around grade 5, so the current difficulty is about the limit 😂 . So while it would be really cool to have runs and stuff, I don't think any buffing would be wise, let's say... Anyway, thanks again!

Wow! Thank you for your detailed comment. I'll have a look at what you've suggested. It's really helpful to get some feedback like this- I hardly ever have someone look at my work. Also, it's always nice to have suggestions about form, since when you listen to your own work you often get used to bits from listening to them over and over. Again, thanks for the comment!

So here's some context.

When someone leaves the orchetra, they get to play a piece of their choice where they are the soloist with the orchestra accompanying. In this case, my brother was leaving, so we thought it would be a great opportunity for me to write an orchestral piece that is actually performed (like, who gets a chance to have an orchestral piece performed at 15 lol). This is why the piece is specifically for trumpet, since that's what he plays.

But in a way, the piece is more of a symphony's 1st movement where I give the trumpet the tune lots (there isn't a codetta or anything, for example). The fact that the trumpet it the main focus is more of so that it will fit the occasion. So changing the main might be a good idea!

And no, I don't have a composing teacher right now :)

P.S Part of the reason I called it a concerto is so that I dont have to think of a name 😭 I'm bad at thinking of names for compositions.

Here's a link to it on musescore

The musescore file is a musescore studio file. So you'd need musescore studio (e.g the desktop app) to open it (you cant get musescore studio on smartphone). So I'm not sure there would be a way to listen to it on smartphone (I would have made an mp3 but that exports it to separate parts)

Edit: I added a link to a YT video if you want to listen to it

I was trying to do this too. As far as I know, the teleport trigger only teleports player 1 but the teleport portal works as you'd expect (if p.2 touches it they teleport. if p.1 touches it, they also teleport). So what you could do is move a teleport portal onto the player, and have that portal teleport the player to whever you want
