Hello, I quite like this piece, the counterpoint was very engaging, and I especially enjoyed the eighth rest followed by two eighth notes motif (it gave it a sort of syncopated feel). If I may, I would like to offer a couple of suggestions on your notation. Consider starting the Horn part in treble clef. Later in the piece you do a great job of switching clefs at appropriate times for the Horn, but there are a lot of ledger lines above the bass clef at the beginning. From my experience (I am not a Horn player, but from what I have learned) most Horn players prefer a few ledger lines below the treble clef over a few ledger lines above the bass clef. This may vary for specific players, but that is the general impression I have gotten from Horn players I know. Also, when you have the long eighth note followed by two staccato eighth notes, I would suggest marking the first note as legato, simply for clarity. I know that the program will perform it the way you want without it, but as a performer, I would question if you wanted the first note short and just forgot to mark it or not, so this would make that very clear. Also, this is not a notation suggestion but something you may want to consider, this would likely be an appropriate time to use an A Clarinet instead of Bb Clarinet. I don't know if you wrote this for specific performers, but if you are writing it for a general wind quintet, it would not be ridiculous to assume the clarinetist has an A Clarinet (especially if you are assuming the Bassoonist has a Contrabassoon). It would be far easier for the Clarinet player to read an A Clarinet part for this piece, given the key (the Bb Clarinet reads in D# Minor, the A Clarinet would read it in E Minor, a much easier key on the instrument). This would also, potentially, help with intonation. I don't know if you will find any of these suggestions helpful, feel free to ignore them if you wish, but if you do find them helpful, I'm glad that I could have been of service.
Thank you so much for your helpful advice! This was my first piece for a woodwind ensemble, and I will definitely apply your suggestions in future projects! For this one, it’s a bit late because TH-cam doesn’t allow to change the video after upload. But perhaps when I apply for music school I can hand in an updated version. ^^
I like the subject, and the fugue is a pleasure to hear. But have to rant, the other voices are more accompainment, not so the independet melodies, exept the narrowing at 4:30 after all. Thank you for your effort writing it.
They are a genius.
Wow, thank you! (=
Yess!! Bassoon love woooo, love it
Thank you! ^^
