Counterpoint challenge

Featured Replies

something A little bit random:

I gave myself 30 minutes to write a counterpoint, and wasn't allowed to correct anything I wrote down, --- so this is what I ended up with (haha, I ended up writing jazz by the end) !

I'd be interested to hear what everyone thinks :)

Counterpoint challenge

Pretty funny and exciting lol. Seeing as it takes me like a day to write a 12 bar gavotte, well done!

will

Yeah, that second half was definitely not counterpoint. Fun to listen to, though.

and wasn't allowed to correct anything I wrote down,

Any chance we could see what you wrote down? Reviewing counterpoint is always easier with a score.

no certainly not haha, the thing I did was to start with a counterpoint and see where I ended up=D As I said, I ended up writing jazz- part of the fun of trying not to correct, I worte one random passage and it went from there =D

You can see the score if you really want to, but It's a bit of a mess TBH :)

The second half should have had a more intense and rhythmically complex left hand, in order to contrast better with the first part and its reprise.

Here's the score, with tempo marks and all, just so I could hear what it would sound like performed..... lol @ the messy-ness XD
