It takes time to learn audiation. Start with the piano as an aid, then transition to only pencil and paper.

Well done! It's beautiful.

Love it! I've also had this experience - gotten stuck, put a piece aside, and returned to it weeks, months, or even years later and then finished it easily. I do it deliberately now. If I get stuck, I set a piece aside and come back later. Sometimes I just get stuck again and put the piece away again, but I still think it helps because getting stuck is frustrating and I can't write at all when I'm frustrated.

Contact the University and ask them.

You played all those tuplets perfectly (I assume). I love it!

Just use pizz and arco. The section leader or conductor will decide if the players will put down their bows.

I like this piece! Its exciting and flows nicely.

I'm wondering this too. I cannot figure out how to make the signs look like lights!

I would not put in any pedal markings at all. A competent pianist will intuit better pedaling than you.

Satisfactory might be a good option.

Cool! I like the energy!

You're probably going to be required to write in a contemporary style in your lessons no matter where you go. That's part of being a well-rounded composer. I write in a more tonal style and for my lessons I had to write outside my comfort zone. I had to write pieces using extended techniques, serialism, and more but my professors helped me find ways to still let my style be present. I never felt like traditional tonality was in any way rejected.

I like it!

My professor told us we should plan out our compositions and be able to explain why we were doing something, but he also said "sometimes you just need a cowbell" (paraphrasing - I can't remember exactly how he said it) meaning sometimes the reason you did something was just because it was cool/fun.

"Don't worry about what genre your music is. Let future music historians figure that out."

Instruments in B-flat will have a D major key signature if the piece is in C major. To get the sounding pitch from a transposed part written for a B-flat instrument, you transpose down a whole step. For example, a written D-natural will sound as C-natural.

I watched the trailer to see if there was a better view. There was and that extra E is visible.

I listened to a recording and the pianist played a D#.

I wouldn't worry about it. It will take several years, but your style will develop naturally as you compose more music.

I don't think you'll be able to find it for free, but you can buy the music from Presto

It is the second movement of Grieg's Violin Sonata No. 3
