Flute Sonata in Eb, need some feedback
If you haven't seen it yet, here is the link to my flute sonata:
https://musescore.com/user/50070/scores/5703661
I nicknamed it The Haydn Sonata because I am trying to get across a Haydnesque feel to it. I have noticed these things predominant in each composer of the Classical Period Trifecta:
- Haydn: Humor, melodic and harmonic surprises
- Mozart: Alberti bass, effortless grace
- Beethoven: Sheer power, even when the melody is more lyrical
Haydn is the one who inspired me to write this flute sonata. I wrote the sonata exposition in just an hour and this is the first sonata for a duet that actually has a finished exposition.
There are quite a few surprises in my sonata exposition. Here they are:
Bar 5: Sudden entry of the flute and absence of the piano
Bar 6: Sudden reentry of the piano
Bar 10: Short diminuendo, like the theme isn't quite done yet
Bar 11: Short staccato variant of the theme over a syncopated bass
Bar 14: Sudden forte cadence, theme is now finished
Bar 15: Piano dynamic in transition material right after a cadence at forte, sudden absence of the flute
Bar 21: Forte dynamic when transition material is taken up an octave, flute comes back
Bar 26: Piano dynamic yet again, descending trill motive
Bar 41: Very busy texture as the repeat comes closer
Bar 47: Sudden change in texture, sudden dynamic change as it repeats
I'm wondering, is my sonata exposition Haydnesque in its nature? I tried to get a Haydnesque feel to it by being more humorous than serious with the music. Anything impossible for the flutist? Does it feel like a Molto Allegro to you(tempo is at quarter note = 140 BPM)? Or should I just take the Molto off and just have Allegro as my tempo marking?

HOW IN THE WORLD AM I SUPPOSED TO PLAY THAT FAST?!??! I NEED TIPS!! PLEASE HELP!!!
Hello
I use to play the horn at my school (like 5 years ago) and I didn't play until last week when I catch up to get a second hand horn.
I'm starting again with this instrument (my favorite) so... I hope I can get better on it.
Like an anime and video game lover I have been seen there is not much of those songs for horn so my idea is to transpose and arrange some of those song and upload it here on Musescore (also popular songs). I'm new on this thing of writting music so I will like to have some support if I need.
I'm from Panama, my main language is Spanish btw.
Thanks for your time.
EDIT: I have already uploaded 2 scores on my profile

Marching Band
These people keep telling me that marching band isn't a sport. I quote "An activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment." Then they tell me that it has no competition. Boy!!! I have one this weekend.

I need Suggestions
I would like to take some stories and turn them in to music. A great example of this is Peter and the Wolf composed by Prokofiev.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MfM7Y9Pcdzw&t=1252s
If you have any short stories you have written or read comment them and i might make it into a piece of music.
When i grow up i would like to write music scores for movies. I have watched a few videos on how John Williams has scored some movies using different themes and motifs and instruments for each character. Please leave your suggestions
Flute Piece
Hi all, there used to be a flute piece titled "end credits", but it was taken down when the user's account got suspended. Does anyone else know what piece I'm referencing, and can anyone remake it? (I'm not too good in the composing area).

This is one of my first scores, so any and all feedback would be great (although preferably constructive criticism). Thank you!
