This sounds terrific Alex. Love the writing, orchestration and mockup. All are great.

Thanks so much!

Oh my goodness it's lovely! I'm trying to compose a piano concerto based on Beethoven early period Mozartish sound... piano was alright but orchestration scares me... this looks very helpful though so I'm gonna be watching it a few times. I absolutely love the style you wrote yours in!

[@AlexHeppelmann]

Best of luck with the piano concerto!

[@AlexHeppelmann]

How do you compose for orchestras when your music is going to be rehearsed and performed? Do you use cubase here and play your midi keyboard to input the notes and rhythms into the daw and after all that is done, then you just write it all into sheet music on a separate program(ie. Sibelius, finale) ? I’m wondering how you put the music in your daw so accurately and then have exactly what you want later when it’s translated to sheet music.

[@AlexHeppelmann]

I typically work simultaneously in Dorico and Cubase, and often export midi from Dorico into Cubase. My Dorico score could then be ready for performance by live players if needed.
