These is the current availible criticism for the first movement of my symphony.

You can post your own criticism on the Music Page. Thank you.

"A bit repetitive, and the timpani tends to drown other things out.  Perhaps take the velocity controllers
 on the timpani down a little.  I liked the theme, however."
 -Schwt (www.midi-contest.com)

 "The drama of the introduction and the wonderful build disguise the fact that the chord progression is the
 same four chords throughout.  The ending was interesting, but abrupt."
-Ernst (www.midi-contest.com)

 "The variations after the "growing", seems a little bit unorganized for me, I can`t see the goal of the
 music. Maybe you should work a little bit more with the planning." 
 -miklos (www.midi-contest.com)

 "A symphony is a very complex, organized, varied and intelligent piece of music that lasts so friggin' long
 because the music itself, the themes themselves, DEMAND it -  - not because the the composer just wants to
 fill it out.  A chord progression of d to C to B-flat to a does not a symphony make.  I am not discouraging
 you from continuing to write, but perhaps you ought to start relatively small (as in solo piano, or small
 woodwind ensembles, or quartet).  Not only do smaller groups tend to support monotony better, but there are
 tricks you can use with less instruments to make it seem like more is going on than actually is the case.
  But with a symphony-sized group?  Not a chance - you can't hide the fact that nothing interesting may be
 going on.  Keep trying!  The best part was the end!  (not being a smart-ass here; I mean, the punctuated
 close of this piece, followed by the fading choir, was very dramatically significant).  More surprises like
 that in the middle of what came before, and you're on your way!"

  "It has some good themes. But I think they should be more developed instead of just repeat them without,
 at least, some good variation."
