    1. Nice work. I'd be interested in hearing what you think about your rhythmic notation in m. 6.

    1. I like the rhythm in m. 6 and 7 that comes back in the end.

    1. Measures 4 and 5 feel like 5/4 to me, which creates a hemiola effect in the music.

    2. Be mindful of your notation - 7/8 is usually either 3+2+2 or 2+2+3. Notating this clearly and consistently will help your performer realize your musical intent.

    1. Be mindful of your notation. The first ten measures can be grouped and beamed like your last five measures: 3+2+2

9/1/21 - Timbre

Compose an 8-measure duet for two of the same instruments (two trumpets for example). Focus on creating a moment where there are two distinct, contrasting parts using range, dynamics, and articulations to emphasize the difference and a moment where the two instruments blend into one another.
