Hi everyone! This is my second complete sonatina in three movements: I. Moderato – A simplified sonata form movement that was inspired by an idea from the second movement of Beethoven's Sonata No. 1 in F minor. II. Larghetto – A gentle piece in ternary form that is by far my favorite movement in this sonatina. It is very simple in nature, but I think it fits nicely as a breath of fresh air between the faster movements. III. Andantino – A variant in rondo form that explores both the traditional feel of the first movement and the more lyrical texture of the second.Sonatina No. 2.pdf YouTube link Timestamps: 00:00 I Movement 02:18 II Movement 03:15 III Movement Thank you for giving me your time and valuable feedback like always!

Thank you! The reason i don't post the scores is that my counterpoint is actually quite bad. So there would be tons and tons of errors people would notice and i prefer not to give it as i'm still working on it. Oh and by the way this piece is not 100% original, the main melody of the 1st part is from a rittornello in Claudio Monteverdi's opera "Il ritorno d'Ulisse in patria". Of course i did not use it note by note but i changed it a bit.

Thanks for the feedback! The reason why it's blocky it's because i'm using the galliard rythm very strictly, wich is: quarter note, quarter note, quarter note, dotted quarter note, eight note, quarter note (In my time signature 3/1 i use breves instead of quarternotes). And actually a lot of galliards from that time (Specially Italians!) had a very homophonic approach, but i do agree i could have added a bit more motion. About the cornettos, yes! They can play that fast! In fact, for quite some time, about 100 or 150 years, cornettos were considered the most virtoso of instruments, so much so many famous musicians of that time considered "Virtuosos" were Cornettists, they can play much much faster than what i used here by the way. By the way the cornettos don't have ornaments in the notation, i only added them for exporting, because the diminutions are supposed to be improvised by the player.

Just bumping this, because it's received no comments yet. I guess nobody has heard of Koechlin! Though I think he's a very interesting and underrated composer.
