Bach Study #2 in C

Well...here it is.

It is not finished yet though...it starts on C and using just a Dominant 5th chord progresses through the major keys(in first inversion)...I had to modify a few to make it sound better though...

I returned back to C, but then I decided to take it through the Flat keys but thats where it is not finished..after C it goes into one of the flats..but I will update tomorrow.

I think this is a usefull exercise for anybody that likes Bach, or wants to learn about his music.

Let me know what you think.

Thank you for your comments. I posted the score...I think you guys may be right, but I cant place where this happens.

Sounds very Bach indeed. Reminds me of the Ave Maria.

Good thing, not much to comment or critique though.

Did you change meter in this? I can't really tell since there isnt a score, but it feels like the meter is all over the place, and the ending is sort of abrubt. I think you should add a counter melody with another instrument, just like Gonoud did to Prelude in C. It would sound nice. I think that this would hold up better as an accompaniment anyways.

I am also curious about the rhythm of this piece. Sometimes the figures seem to be in 6 and other times in 5. Do you have a score?

hmm...I am not too sure. Tempo and timing are my weeknesses.

I am not sure you guys are aware but if you down load this free trial software...

You can drag and drop midi files to get the score for them.

I'll try to get it into a PDF

also this is really not a performance piece more of a study to show Dominant 5th progression, and the fingering options

If you do however "drag and drop midi files to get the score for them" into noteworthy composer, it fixes one meter and rewrites everything to fit into that meter, so that would not be a solution to the questions about changing meter.

I see the score. Well, you didn't really follow any meter. It's kind of all over the place...it's all in common time but it changes meter within its self. I'm not sure if what I'm saying is any help.
