On a side note.

Alti, that's a good compromise, actually.

Definitely better than where it was.

Right.

And I'm saying that for them to divvy up those sections to use a tremolo marking, they have to change the whole meter to include dots attached to every note. It wouldn't work otherwise.

Which is also why there aren't any other notated tremolos in the rest of the excerpt, like you said. (Unless you missed some)

Olimar, I think it's written like that because of the tremolos. Nothing more.

[It's a go for me.]

Got it.

It's a go for me.

Just one more thing, just so I can clarify something about the meter thing one more time.







This is an excerpt from Holst's Suite De Ballet, 2nd Movement.

I had to arrange this for an audition for tuba with piano accompaniment. Notice the meter and how the rests are around the note durations? This other than the range, it was completely ripped note for note, rest for rest from the score from which I worked from.

If there's no other concerns from the other updaters about this specific thing, and I'm just crazy, I'll give the sheet my good graces.

Fair.

The two things I did that made the whole sheet look crispy was to reduce the page to 90%, and change the left margin to 0.5 in. It's a one pager, so a solid 0.5 is good.

Don't forget to change the copyright url to "https://"

Once those are done. I would say that this is good to go.

Easy easy, I'm just trying to gauge where ya'll at.

What I meant by rest placement was if there's an eighth note on the downbeat then it would be followed by two eighth rests. If it's on the last eighth of the three, then there would be a quarter rest preceding it. I'm all down for dotted whatevers, but if it's on every measure, that's when I would reconsider using staccatos. That's just me and my musical knowledge and experience talking about how appropriate using those specific subdivision can be, so take it with a grain of salt.

Edit: I looked at the sheet and it looks better. Should I go on about how the sheet looks in terms of formatting, or can you spot the problematic stuff without me pointing out the obvious?

Lest to save words from both of us.

I was hoping for a discussion, but that works, I guess...

I've been trying to find out how rubato it is and I'm not having any success.

I would agree with Dekka.

You'll start to notice some of the harmonic stuff make much more sense once you flip it to A-flat minor, instead.

Double check some or your layering stuff to see if it's completely necessary like m. 4, 8, and 25.

I'll give it another go once you've updated.

I see what you mean.

It sounds fine, I don't think it'll be too muddy during a performance. Maybe Lat can decide your fate.

But for now, give the other pages some head space on that top margin. You have plenty of room on the bottom of the pages to give some space.

Once you do that, you'll get a thumbs up from me.

Catchy song.

Three things, tho.

The melody needs work as to how it's written, the use of second layers, and sustained notes. For example, m. 12, 13 seem to sustain through the entire measure as a two note chord that moves together. That gets rid of the need for a second layer, and the need to spell that D-flat as a C-sharp since it's moving within that A-major chord. The bottom B should be held as long as the moving notes above and thus does not need to be in a second layer. The last thing about m. 13 is the sounding of a C-natural as a quarter note on beat 4 going into the next phrase landing on the D in the next measure. I know it sounds like an echo, but i think it works as part as the setup into the next phrase.

Work on some of that stuff, and I'll work on the bass stuff next time.

Edit: Oh. and you linked to the wrong youtube link. This one is it

A-very nice!

Thanks, man!

I was going through it one last time and noticed the staccatos on some of the first and second layers need to be flipped to the notes it's attached to. i.e. the quarter notes.

I also didn't get all of the half notes that were staccato'd either. Get rid of them and replace them with a quarter note instead.

It's almost there!

Great job, Zeila!
