March 27, 201115 yr A piece for keyboard I recently finished. Could eventually be the first movement of a Sonatina. Allegro
March 28, 201115 yr Very nice! :D This is perfect in form, symmetry and style. You clearly have a command of this idiom. It reminds me of a typical Allegro movement from a mid-18th Century English "Lesson", or Suite. Love the cross-relation in meas. 5 - very English. It's just a little daring without being beyond the pale. In my opinion, this would sound better played back with harpsichord samples. Any chance of that? Keep up the good work!
April 2, 201115 yr I have to agree with the above the points Graham made. It is very Mozart and Haydn, early classical. Now, start to listen to Beethoven his early works and see how he wrote and implied his form into his composition.
April 6, 201115 yr I would have to say this would definitely sound better on a harpsichord - using the piano, it sounds very "exposed" - there isn't much going on harmonically, and it is much more contrapuntal than homophonic in style. I think this is good, but I would have definitely used harmonic features that were a bit more interesting (more modulations and secondary dominants, so on and so forth.)
April 6, 201115 yr Hi, Jahreszeiten 13, a lovely piece! I agree with the posters, who say you could try recording it with harpsichord samples. If you don't have them, you could send me the MIDI file and I'd make a recording for you.
