    ...this will get some revisions as the harmonics in the horn need adjusting in three or four measures here and there.

    fun challenge... which measures do you suspect? I know this is a difficult and subjective question, especially since this piece wanders from traditional harmony, but it would be interesting to hear various perspectives. Thanks in advance!

    I will wait for some response, and then after list my complaints about the piece with revisions.

    Update

    I made a lot of revisions to this piece already! That first run was more of a sketch as I see it. Only changed maybe one or two notes on the piano part. Many revisions in the horn part.

    Hi @Bri

    I have made extensive revisions to the harmonic progression in the horn... it makes more musical sense in this revised version... PM me your email address and I will send you the score and parts.

    Although this might sound great in a church acoustic, it is more fittingly a secular concert piece.
