Hello everybody! This is my first topic in the forum - I've commented on a number of pieces but not yet shared anything of my own, so here we are. I wrote this concerto for piano and string orchestra last month - I don't play a string instrument, so I'd appreciate any feedback on the string writing! The concerto is in five short movements; the first is in A minor, the second in A major, the third also in A major (and following straight on from the second), the fourth in D minor, and the last in A minor. I've reused a few motifs throughout the work to keep it feeling 'tight'; the opening theme of the concerto comes back in the final passage, creating a cyclical feel; and the final movement in general incorporates aspects of the other movements. I'd be hard placed to name any particular influence, other than a neoclassical feel to some passages. Overall, I'm fairly pleased with it, so I thought it could be my first posting 🙂 I hope you have fun with the work!

Lol I was like "hey wtf thats MINE" I'll give this one a listen as well. (sighs in relief and smiles) thank you. Love that snare o' yours 😉

Fuga a 3 in g minor.mp3I recently have been reading and working through Jacob IJzerman's "Harmony, Counterpoint, Partimento" which I highly recommend, and I was inspired to write some short 3-voice fugues, mostly just to see if I could write them convincingly. Here's one of them. I scored it for flute oboe and bassoon so that the different parts could be heard easily.
