#string quartet

I. really don't know why I did this. but enjoy I guess

For his birthday today (1/27) I compiled all of the blog posts I've written about his music over the years on this blog. There's so much more to write about for a composer with as significant an output as Wolfgang...I hope you enjoy anything you haven't heard yet!

oh my god, you guys. it's done. i actually finally Finished The Fucking Thing. This is by far the longest and most complex thing i've written to date, and that's not even taking into account the fact that it's only one movement in my first multi-movement work. it's not perfect, but damn. i'm proud of myself 😂

it does need a good edit, as do all the other movements in this quartet, but as i'm kind of burnt out on it again i don't know when i'll get around to doing that. i'd love to look it over with a teacher or in a workshop setting, actually, since there are things i'm not happy with that i don't know how to fix or sometimes even identify the problem....but idrk where or how to find something like that in my area, so. for now, please enjoy my over-eight-minute monster baby.

here's the current state of other three movements also, if you wanna check em out (unfortuately i cant upload the full thing at once bc the audio is too big LMAO):

i've been working on this quartet for about a year and a half now, so i'm honestly very eager to switch gears to other things LOL. up next on my docket is a piano/vocals trio, which i already have the lyrics and melody for, so it might show up pretty soon~ after that i think i want to try my hand at a concert overture (my first symphonic work!! aaa!!), though that might take longer because i'm juust dipping my toes into writing for wind instruments.
