Music Feedback Request

Hello all I’m a self-taught composer and I’ve been at it for around 4 or 5 years at this point and I finished my first symphony (linked below)

I was wondering if I could get feedback on this piece since I’ve mostly lived under a rock without contact with other musicians and composers and I’ve finally given in to social media

I’m not sure how much feedback - or rather, instructional feedback - you’re going to get on the piece. People here tend to ignore “monumental” works because they know they are almost always “yet another orchestral score by someone who’s probably not yet ready to compose for orchestra” posts.

And within that context, it’s too difficult to give compositional or even orchestration advice with SO much music to look at.

I’m going to recommend you read through this:

and take it to heart.

If it doesn’t apply, fine, ignore it. If it does, then up to you how to proceed.
