DSLR - Rushing Winds - Full Score

I apologize for the ending...it's still a work in progress.

So here's the story: I did a project for one of my music history classes, and I decided to compose a piece. This piece is supposed to represent the progression of the Classical era into the Romantic with outside inspirations from Mozart (First Movement of his 40th Symphony composed in 1788), Haydn (Second Movement of his Surprise Symphony/94th Symphony composed in 1792) and Beethoven (Eroica/3rd Symphony composed in 1805).

There are three sections (similar to movements in a symphony) in which section 1 represents Mozart, section 2 represents Haydn and section 3 represents Beethoven. sections 1 and 3 have been composed similarly to sonata form, while section 2 has been composed in binary form (mimicking each individual symphony that section is dedicated to). There are 11 instruments present including from woodwinds, brass, strings and percussion.

The overall story can represent a main character filled with sad emotions, but remains hopeful for their future. As the character journey's on, they find happiness, and in the end, they end up finding success and purpose in their life.

Some sections of Symphony 40, 94 and 5 have been sampled and placed into the piece as a mere form of dedication and honour. Everything was self composed and notated on Notion by PreSonus.
