Symphony #13, 1st movement

[Jerry Gerber]

Well, here I am, 73 years old and I had no idea whether I'd make it to my 13th symphony.  The main themes, introduced in the upper and lower strings, permeate the entire movement, with a few "off-road" transitions.   Growing old has its challenges and rewards, no doubt. Maybe I'll be lucky and get the other 3 movements done as well.  

Produced, as all my music is, in Cakewalk..

Symphony #13, 1st movement  (open score in new tab, the usual method of automatically opening a new tab isn't working right now)

Very well done. Orchestration and dynamics are top-notch. I can only imagine how many hours went into this work. Hopefully, when you are done with it you can find a good orchestra to add it to their repertoire.

Thanks Chaps!   No orchestra for me.  Getting a work like this played will take more time and effort than writing and producing it.  I'll leave that to other composers to pursue.  I am satisfied working in the digital medium.

Best,

Jerry

Jerry, I'm a year behind you and I'll never complete moment 1 of symphony 1, but I do occasionally manage to kick out a three minute rocker.
My advice, stick to whatever daily composition schedule works you and keep up the good work!
