I just came up with this intro (link above), it's very bombastic and I think a bit Beethoven-ish, but right now I don't know how to continue this, does anyone maybe have a suggestion for where I could go so that I can maybe write further? Thanks! :D

Figure out what you want to do with it for yourself. No one can tell you how to write your music.

No, that's when it's topped with lettuce and mustard and stuck between two slices of bread.

Check out Mahler's Sixth Symphony!   0:)


Variations: take it into polytonality, e.g. D minor or major in the bass vs F# major or minor in the treble, or turn it into an antiphonal section, the treble echoing the bass or vice versa, or do both!  Use the chords as the basis for melodies contrasting with the stolid opening...

Dude!  Come on!  How can you be stuck?   8)
