Euler - Fantastic job on both but the second one - that should be kept for the foundation of a piece for clarinet and cello.

One suggestion on the first exercise, msr 8 would be fine also if the melody were an A -- granted you'd have 4 descending thirds (which is the limit) BUT as the bass beforehand skips alot and moves in contrary motion from mm 9 - 10, this would still be interesting. Another reason for suggesting the A is that the skip to the maj third and then the downward motion by a M2 breaks up the stepwise motion in the soprano and gives the melody a large arc from beginning to end. Consider this suggestion. Again, excellent work.
