Concerto in F minor for Harpsichord and String Orchestra

Hi all!

MASSIVE EDIT:

All of the previous posts on the individual movements have been consolidated into one thread, thanks to chopin

Just a bit about each movement:

I - Though the solo line seems a bit sparse, I chose to leave it alone. I like how the harpsichord picks up on the orchestra's material and transforms it throughout those long arpeggiated sequences.

II - Where the first movement showcases the orchestra a bit more, this one is all about the harpschord. A lot of imitation going on in the solo part, with a number of different recurring figures. Concludes with a Phrygian cadence.

III - A lively jig, with melodies dueling against each other in canon (mostly the keyboard part). Also features some call and answer between the keyboard and the orchestra.

It's the three on top, in order: http://www.soundclick.com/bands/page...?bandID=430217

Feel free to comment and critique!

- BE
