Tahnks @Quinn It was a challenge, that's why it's short. I like to explore different sonorities. -
Overall this is a fun little piece, you clearly understand the essence of what a prelude and fugue is meant to be. 👍 The prelude is fun. the metric feels contemporary and clean, using (2+2+2+3) time was unique. I like that you were confident in your writing for it. Also ending with a quartal harmony made it feel very contemporary. I can't say too much on the fugue since I don't have a very deep knowledge on baroque music. Although I felt you were less confident in your writing compared to the prelude-I think that there was a lot less direction with the harmony which made it feel unsure. On my first listening I think I heard parallel octaves in m46. in voice 1 and 3. I'll have to take another look to skim for any voice leading slipups. I was a little surprised when I didn't hear a third voice come in at m42, it is a bit of a jump for the second voice (maj 11 interval) PS: I think I'm going to try writing a fugue now, you've inspired me 🙂 EDIT: have a look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fugue#Musical_outline, I completely forgot that fugues have an actual structure 😛 -
Its great that you're writing for your siblings, its a great chance to hear your music live. What I meant by adding a flute and mentioning the heavy mid register is that you've tended to write the instruments in overlapping registers. I wanted you to consider whether or not you wanted to open the range of the piece more for variety. Its not so much a problem, but just something to think about. overly tight writing only becomes a problem when it is used too much (this can be an effect...) it can become tiring to a listeners ears. I'm excited to hear your next movement 🙂

Interesting and engaging. You know what you're doing so there's little need for me to comment on scoring, balance and rendering. It seems just the right length for the material you use and comes over more as a concert waltz rather than something I'd hear in the ballroom. Is it likely to be part of a suite of pieces? Superb, anyway.
