This is off topic.

Here is the first movement of my "String Quartet In F".

Nice! The way the instruments play off each other is very cool and you have an interesting theme which is recapitulated well.

I don't have a notation program for preparing good scores. Sorry 'bout that.

Thanks for having a listen.

I really liked this! I'm not a trained composer so maybe I shouldn't even be in this forum (blush) and I can't really talk technique. Still, I love the interplay of the instruments and can imagine what the real thing would sound like. Play by a real quartet would really make this. Any chance of an updated real-life recording? And is it composed for anything in particular?

I can't afford two live violinists, one human violist and one cellist dude. smile

I composed it simply for the joy of composing.

Thanks for listening and commenting.

What I was curious about this one in particular was the choice of F major and a flats signature for strings.

I originally wrote it in E but I didn't like it there, so I raised it a half-step.

Yes, I know that strings usually sound better in sharp keys, but they can play flats too. laugh

frown That's a real shame. You need to get yourself some string-playing friends!
