Thanks. That'll do nicely.

First thing:
We need to get you thinking contrapuntally. Your writing shows evidence of counterpoint, but it's not really contrapuntal, because the counterpoint is only used to bridge between sections of homophony. The result is a very thin sound with very little change.

So: Assignment #2 - write a short piece (no more than a minute or so) that uses constant counterpoint. I don't mind if you choose to use or ignore Fuxian rules - but the lines should show use of differing contour, contrast between divergent/convergent and confluent motion.

One more guideline - all note values must be of a quarter-note or less, and the beat must be no slower than quarter=108.
