Discussion Where to find feedback for contemporary works

1 Upvotes

Hello you guys!

Im searching for a place where i can post my own contemporary compositions and can sctually get good feedback. I often see people somewhat failing to honestly critique contemporary pieces, because those more abstract pieces act on art on a different level. Im currently starting my composing journey, but i already was a semi-prof wind band conductor for some years and have a small degree in conducting to, so im very interested about other peoples opinions and want to learn more about composing. Id be very thankful if anyone could help...

(Btw english isnt my first language so im sry for the bad grammar)

Music Was playing around with some improv and got stuck on how this sounds. Is this from something and I'm being dumb?

I was thinking of using this/parts of this in a larger composition, but I can't tell if i'm just subconsciously reproducing something I've heard before. Or maybe it just is very generic haha

I can't find the artist who made this image so can't source :'(

Discussion How do I publish/release pieces?

3 Upvotes

I’ve written a few pieces now (about 10) and would like to start publishing. By that I just mean releasing online, I don’t care about money or anything, I just want to put them somewhere that they could be seen.

Where could I release pieces and potentially even gain a small following? Is there such a platform?

Less important question, but say I do release pieces like this, need I assign an opus number to them? For example I have Nocturne No. 1 in G Minor and Prelude No. 1 & 2 in A minor and B major. Do these become Op. 1, Op. 2 etc? In fact, need I even label them as 1, 2 etc or is the name and key fine?

Thanks for any answers!
