To Starting Composers Who Feel Their Compositions are Garbage
Do you remember your first lesson on your instrument? Do you remember how many years it took to get where you are now? Composition works the exact same way. Prodigies aside, when anyone starts composing, they will never be the next Bolcom or Brahms.
Comparison is the thief of joy, and if you are judging the quality of your compositions comparing yourself to Tchaikovsky’s 4th Symphony, of course your piece is going to sound worse. Almost anyone’s would. There are VERY few composers in the world who rival household names.
There’s a saying: Rome wasn’t built in a day. For composition, it can take several years before you write masterpiece. So for now, instinctively expect that your compositions aren’t going to be as phenomenal as artists who have had several years of professional training.
Most of all, know that you are only going to get better from where you are now. You may experience writers block, which for some can last months to years. That’s totally normal, and happens to the best of composers. Expect that as well. For me personally, I have 3-5 misses for every hit I have, and it took me four years to reach that ratio.
We all have room to improve, and will always have room to improve. You’ve literally only started to try your hand in writing music. While you may not write masterpieces now, don’t judge where you are now and expect to be there for the rest of your life.

How? Did not miss one beat
Awesome 💕💕💕
I’ve already watched this 3xs! Love it!
how people think classical musicians are: Tarquin, last night I was listening to my favoured collection of the Wagner operatic preludes once more. I must say, I had forgotten how much of a masterpiece Lohengrin really is.
how classical musicians actually are: YOOOO THIS MODULATION IS DOPE AS SHITTTTTT STRAUSS MA MAAAAN

Górecki - Symphony no. 3, “Symphony of Sorroful Songs”
This symphony marked Górecki’s shift from a more dissonant serialist style to a more tonal one. Though it is “tonal” and sometimes considered “minimalist”, I think the terms downplay the complexity of the music. This symphony is Górecki’s most popular work, it is a monument to grief and loss, maybe sentiments of angst and pain that Poland had suffered through the 20th century. The first movement is a giant eight voiced canon, where each new introduction of the theme is in a different Greek mode [from lowest strings to highest, we hear the Aeolian, Phrygian, Locrian, Lydian, Ionian, Mixolydian, Dorian, and back to Aeolian modes], and the canon is interrupted by a pause of tone clusters, the soprano sings a 15th century Lamentation of the Virgin Mary from the Lysagora Songs collection of the Holy Cross Monastery, lamenting Jesus’ death. After the song is over, the canon breaks in at its height, and then unravels into silence. The second movement is also built out of tone cluster drones, the soprano sings a prayer to the Virgin Mary that was found in a Gestapo cell in Zakopane. The third movement is made of subtle variations on a short theme in a minor, while the soprano sings a folk song about a mother searching for her son who was killed in the Silesian uprisings of 1919-1921, and the music opens into a majestic uplifting major section before returning to the somber mood of the opening. The work is depressing, languid, and conveys the pain of parents losing children, and vice versa, and even though Górecki was previously an obscure composer, a 1992 recording of the work with Dawn Upshaw exploded in popularity, over one million copies sold, and probably became the best selling record of a contemporary classical piece in recording history. Regardless of popularity, Górecki is an awesome composer and if you haven’t heard him before I urge you to listen to this symphony, his “Little Requiem for a Polish Girl”, his Harpsichord/Piano Concerto, and his Symphony 2 “Copernicus”
Movements:
1. Lento - Sostenuto tranquillo ma cantabile
2. Lento e largo - Tranquillissimo
3. Lento - Cantabile-semplice
