i saw you uploaded this a few days ago and listened to it but only now am i actually writing down what i think like i said before clearly you excel in writing for a string orchestra each of the parts are all very clearly playable and well thought out but even though you have that very good knowledge there are times when it feels imitative of other academic composers and is lacking in a unique voice (there is nothing wrong with using a model composer but try to put a bit of your own spin on their style) it took me a very long time to find out what i was stronger and weaker in but nonetheless it is a good idea to start thinking about that as soon as possible i am not very good at writing in formal structures but the c section feels a bit monotonous and long the themes are good but there isnt much variation of them which is not to say you didnt do it at all but just change up rhythm key or even playing technique to fit the color of the section a minor thing but it ends like you arent sure how to wrap it up in short most of the piece is quite good but sounds very similar to others writing for academic purposes
i saw you uploaded this a few days ago and listened to it but only now am i actually writing down what i think
like i said before clearly you excel in writing for a string orchestra
each of the parts are all very clearly playable and well thought out
but even though you have that very good knowledge there are times when it feels imitative of other academic composers and is lacking in a unique voice (there is nothing wrong with using a model composer but try to put a bit of your own spin on their style) it took me a very long time to find out what i was stronger and weaker in but nonetheless it is a good idea to start thinking about that as soon as possible
i am not very good at writing in formal structures but the c section feels a bit monotonous and long
the themes are good but there isnt much variation of them which is not to say you didnt do it at all but just change up rhythm key or even playing technique to fit the color of the section
a minor thing but it ends like you arent sure how to wrap it up
in short most of the piece is quite good but sounds very similar to others writing for academic purposes
