June 19, 20169 yr well, composed 3 preludes, 21 to go... hope you like this one, quite sudden change in keys, pls suggest how to do it in a better. (not looking for classic change) Edited June 20, 20169 yr by Cyborg W
June 20, 20169 yr Hi Repetition and variation. They are the essentials of this style of composition (baroque-classic). I mean, the Prelude can take many Forms: binary song, ternary song, song with trio, different types of "rondó", etc... If you compose in such a classic style, using the great Forms help to organise your work = repetition and variation. This piece seems to be a kind of ABCD structure, (perhaps the final section reminds to the first one). This is like a "rhapsody", where you write parts and parts, without repeating material. But this is not a classic Form. It's more a late-romantic (I would say) Form. Of course, you can do whatever you want. But when the language is 100% tonal, like this, your work will surely benefit from the Forms. I spent some weeks studying Forms (it's amazing) and I learned a lot...
June 30, 20169 yr It sounds nice, I just have a couple issues with some of your contrapuntal stuff; some of your passing tones conflict with a harmonic tone and other times your suspended tones clash with the bass line, mostly in your Andante section (i.e. m. 40 and 43).
