Mark Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 I have managed to write a period in a trio sonata sort of texture - I'm quote proud of it, though I think my melodies still need more work. As I didn't want to deviate too much from the main thread of the lesson I used this as an opportunity to try and work a neopolitan 6th and an italian 6th into real music, and there are a few V of ivs in there too. Also attached is a midi of it, with quite possibly the worst figured bass realisation imaginable, probably full of parallels and stuff, but it's just to give a slightly better feel of what it's meant to sound like (I'm sure you imagine a considerably better performance in your head actually, now I think about it :blush: I'm positively annoyed at myself to have to say that this is about all of the musical work I managed to get done this week - I have allowed myself to get distracted (by YC amoungst other things) and not done nearly as much work as I'd hoped I would. Laziness angers me :( trio sonataness.MID Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
echurchill Posted June 7, 2008 Author Share Posted June 7, 2008 Very nice! I'm glad you finally got around to writing something... though I would like to see some of those assigned melodies too... but I think this little phrase is the beginning of much finer musicality in you. You now know how to deploy chromatic harmonies and those melodies show careful design. Try writing a bit more of that! I would be posting a lesson today but I have graduation parties to attend... but I will try to post tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 The melody assignments are in the works, don't worry :) Your comments on the trio thing are appreciated, I'm glad you can see improvement. I shall try writing more in that idiom, aswell as hopefully get some Sarabande type phrases written, and more melodies. I look forward to the next lesson :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
