E min Invention

Featured Replies

This was my first attempt at a Bach style Invention. I definitely break some rules and have a somewhat loose interpretation of what constitutes a theme but I appreciate any comments.

Its nice,, as you said a very loose interpretation of an invention,, I'd say your 'theme' needs to be about 4 times longer than it is,, I won't even bother trying to correct you on rules broken (That would be easier with a score anyway).. a nice first attempt though! 2 pieces of advice: learn how to handle dissonance and parallel motion,, and sharpen your leading notes (ie. stick within the particular maj/min key you're in!)

Thank - very useful comments. My ultimate goal with these attempts is more to write contemporary instrumental pieces that have an understanding of classical forms but are less beholden to the specifics of classical harmony, so I'm weighing how much effort I should put into precision. But any commentary on specifics is helpful. I definitely see/hear your point about leading notes.
