Trio Sonata

Hey Everyone, it's been a long time since I've posted... and I've only gotten through two chapters of harmony study and 2 in counterpoint practice; so yes, I'm still not a good composer.

With that out the way, I've begun writing a piece for my two band directors who've taught me for the past four or five years, and I've sketched out most of these movements on piano for the past year.

It's in the baroque-ish style, so don't rip it apart for being "old fashioned," please.

The first two movements, if not saved as such, should begin at quarter note= 80, and the third movement should be at 140. The second movement is fugal in nature, I'm not as proud of it for its subject as for the fact that I figured out that it can be used in a canon at the second.

My major question is; is it good enough for what it's intended for, or should I just give up on composing it? Feel free to give criticism, both negative and positive.

Thanks for any help or advice anyone can give.

I actualy realy liked it. The first movement is sounds very sereen and unpretensious Very nice. The second movement fits wounderfully after the first movenment. I will suggest to make the melodies a bit more personal, try some to include some climaxes and downfalls. But if you leave it this way and finish it in the same manner as what you have so far, i'm sure i'll come out realy nice. At least in my opinion this very nice and have no idea what you are worrying about. If your main worry is whether or not to finish it, i'd say: FINISH IT!
