First Piece

I really agree with the observation that one's mood affects one's composing. I think my piece would have turned out completely different if I had done different sections on different days.

I am currently struggling with maintaining the overall character of my first piece and still build tension and interest. I fear my piece may be a little too developmental and dynamic and also, resultantly, that my pieces will all sound similar. I have sketched out the entire form, but still need to work out the logisitcs.

I am also incorporating minor improvisations from the performers since I find I can't really notate exactly what I would like to hear, especially for special effects. We'll see how it turns out.
