Quite excellent! More like Haydn to me. I am good at using elements of the Classical, Baroque, or even sometimes Renaissance styles, but am not good at staying in style!

Yes, probably weak as opposed to your suggestion, and I changed it. Last movement of my D Minor String Quartet.

I knew that didn't look right...really, after 38 years, writing an impossible violin chord! I can forgive myself for an unplayable guitar chord once in a while...

Thank you!

I don't know, what about my inversion? If I had a violin, I'd try it out, very badly...🤪

Is This Violin Chord Possible? Free Sheet Music by Outis for Violin | Noteflight Just askin'. I have been writing music for 38 years, but I am not a string player. If possible, could not be sustained...

Here's number three, because I like it! I'll get number two in eventually! Three Part Songs to Poems by G.M. Hopkins-3 Free Sheet Music by Robert C. Fox for Various Instruments | Noteflight

No, think German. National Anthem material! Aw, s*it, I gave it away!🤣

By the way, can anyone guess what famous tune the main theme of the minuet is based on?😉

It's weird...an instant composition exercise, to see if I could write a little piece during a little party, with the distractions of beer and rock music playing. Took a bit of editing and still rough! https://www.noteflight.com/music/titles/89c27a42-c2bb-400d-a702-ec32d306df65/minuet-in-db-major

Meh...

It is well-constructed but reminds me too much of these semi-atonal things I wrote in college, like my monstrosity of a clarinet sonata! So, I love it, but do not like it.

Very nice! It sounds to me a bit proto-impressionistic, like a young Debussy.

Interesting...I might look into it if life gets a bit less crazy, as it has been for me this Fall!

I'm not familiar with Jommelli, though I do know the Michael Haydn Requiem (influenced Mozart's), the Bruckner Requiem (modeled on Mozart's and in the same key of D Minor) that he wrote at age 24 and revised later in life, and even the Salieri Requiem, which has some great vocal writing! Gee Whiz; the Jommelli Requiem was written in the year of Mozart's birth! How weird is that? I will listen to it. My Requiem is MODELED on Mozart's unfinished Requiem, if you listen closely and see how I broke out the text. It does not SOUND like Mozart, except for the occasional turn of phrase.
