J Graham: Sinfonietta

Very, very short sinfonietta - one movement, just over two minutes long.

MP3 file is on the NewGround's Audio Portal

Comments and feedback greatly appreciated :)

Thanks!

(I'll post the score up tomorrow... it will be a Finale 2009 .MUS file.)

Can you post a score?

The voice leading sounds OK, but it was dubious in places. The descending scales around 1.44 seemed a little directionless/meaningless.

Otherwise, nice music.

The descending scales with the tremolo violin. Yeah, was actually pretty pointless. I just needed something to help lengthen the piece out. Originally, it was going to be another section. I guess I just left it in their either to: a) lengthen the piece a bit, or b) because I forgot to remove it.

haha, you shouldn't be putting in 'filler' material to lengthen a piece! Only write as much material as is necessary (see Webern).

I think you should develop it into a larger section. If you gave the scales some sort of direction, I think you could successfully make an interesting development, which will make the return to opening material more striking
