Will this turn into a symphony? Symphonietta Ebony by 21st century boy!

tinkering daily with this the percussion is its brightest aspect but having problem getting the notation as I would like it. The winds and brass too need to be thought about but Im saving it here so it is saf e for now!

Thankyou so much for your kind words and thankyou especially for taking the time out to listen to my modest efforts at composition and orchestration! Dont u wish we could get pizzicatto, glissando sounds and harmonic sounds here as well as flutter sounds in winds here.So manythings muse does so well already one doesnt know what to wish for first!

Have you ever watched a movie scene with a ship's captain railing against an awesome storm? That's how this piece affected me. Hang on, I'm still untangling my spine. Kid, I hope you have your eye on the commercial markets. The way all those dissonances kept coming without losing their power (because of the generous interspersion of sweeter, yet powerful harmonies) was just the right amount shy of overwhelming.

I agree it's not finished but I'm not going to offer a word of advice. Oh, wait, yes I am, but it's not about the music. In fact it's more of a request. I think the Musescore program lets you hide empty staves. Maybe you already engaged that, I couldn't really tell, but it might let the rest of us see what's going on.

Plus, when I said "commercial" I didn't mean as in "Buy a Mazda!" I meant "Silent Hill V" or " Cloverfield II; This Time We Get it Right!" You've got a lot of talented competition out there, but you jump in that field and everybody else has one more talented competitor to deal with.

I'm overwhelmed at your kindness. I spend hours at youtube maybe even whole days and the truth is there r many outthere who already know so much more than me that I'm daunted . My serious work will come whenI'm back in school and have studied enough mathematics to write something truly organic that WORKS LIKE A PERFECTLY OILED MACHINE. The Berg violin concerto is always my inspiration as is so much fine film music. I believe I have some natural talent mostly for melody which you will never discover in one of my pieces here. How will I make shapely melodies while tring to write in a contemporary mode? I'll find ways to do what I want.The sooner I get a doctorate of composition and orchestration the better will my juvenilia become. THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE KIND advice!! I appreciate so much people for taking the time out to listen! Thanks again! Most importantly musescore does let u hide empty staves but as all my work is in first second sketch form I need to print everything out because there will be little passing tones and suspensions added in the future.

If you want to note something on the score i sugest using CTRL+T instead of CTRL+L since the first means notation and the latter means lyrics.
