You are right, I have not had any formal composition instruction, but I do know my fair share of music theory and I have been listening to classical music (as well as many other genres) since I was in the womb. I have also been studying structures and instrumental roles in various symphonies from different composers of different periods. That being said, my major goal and motive in submitting my symphony was not to show off how amazing my music is, but rather to demonstrate my passion and interest in it.</p>
