What have you composed for? Or what medium do you work around?
Orchestra, Small Ensemble
"Beautiful theme and lovely orchestration. I find it interesting that, besides the beginning, the piano generally only has a few bars of solo before all or part of the orchestra joins in. It almost sounds like the orchestra is eager to "finish the…"
"Brilliant and very "Beethoven", well done. This experiment of yours reminds me of the AI Symphony that was done where they feed incomplete themes of Beethoven's into a program trained to "write like Beethoven". Who knows what the fully fleshed out…"
"OK, I don't know Finale at all well unfortunately as I've never used it. There are certainly other Finale users on this forum who perhaps could give tips if needed. With Dorico, I can't think of a situation where I needed to manually correct the…"
"I use the notationsoftware Finale and I don't know why it behaves this way regarding the rests. To change it I have to treat all instances manually. I didn't find out how it would work out automatically ..."
"there are certainly some inconsistencies in the notation. bar 8 is missing a quaver (8th) rest in the piano right hand and bar 9 in the left hand, despite being rhythmically identical to bars 8 and 10, show three single quaver rests. Of course in a…"
"Very pleased to listen to. I looked at the score and have a question: should two eighth note rests, for example, be written as one quarter note rest for neatness sake? I see you left eighth note rests as is and not convert them into quarter ones in…"
"This is such a beautiful theme! Yes, please do work it out to a full movement. This theme deserves it!
It does sound like a fitting finale for a piano concerto; maybe if you're ambitious enough you could even fill in a 1st and 2nd movement? ;-) …"

"Wow! A lovely solo piano intro but when the band kicked in just after the 2:00 minute mark it took me to a different place than I was expecting (I wasn't looking at the score - just listening). This is brilliant! And very a propos of comparisons…"
Last week a friend sent me a little Beethoven theme sketch from 1799 for probably a Rondo for a piano concerto. Based on this I wrote this "Mini"-Rondo of about 2 minutes, which someday I may work out for a whole movement: I hope you will like…
"Thank you all so much for all your encouraging words! It has been mentioned that there is a Beethovenian flavour in the piece. Well, this may be so in the further course of the piece but I admit that the first impulse for the beginning of the piece…"
"Excellent sound and composition there Gerd. It's not what I was expecting for something titaled adagio. Ones mind immediatly goes to the famous Barber, Mahler or Abononi adagios when I hear the word adagio, but as a composition it really works,…"
"Agree with H.S.Tech about the somewhat Beethovenesque vein of this work. At times it seemed to have moments of Weber.
But above all it's to your usual excellent standard and thus impossible to say much. Looking at the score it's the sort of thing I…"

"Just listened to this, with score. Wow! Lovely theme, and overall very Beethoven-ish. Especially loved the sudden hectic middle section. Especially appreciated how you managed to keep up the tension even in very thinly-orchestrated passages. Your…"
"Dear Frank, thank you very much for your kind reply. I like your sentence "Tension/resolution is everything in music" - yes, indeed this is true and I tried to express this here in my piece :-)"
"Wow, this is remarkably well done - congratulations on the accomplishment! I don't profess to know enough (yet) about orchestration to enable me to offer any particularly intelligent or pointed feedback, but to my ears at least, you'de deployed the…"
After having spent my time in the recent months with orchestrations of Beethoven chamber music, in the last 3 weeks i also composed a new symphonic Adagio - I call it the "Path of Peace" , for it starts in G-major with a wonderful peacefull theme…
