user45829 Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 I don't even know what I'm doing here, I'm so bad at this haha. First time posting. Here's a piece I wrote for a project we had to do for AP Music Theory a few weeks ago where we took the harmonic structure/progression of another piece or song and rewrote a melody for it. I decided to use Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata Presto agitato and copied the form too. To skip the repeat, jump from 5:14 to 10:28 Shadow_of_the_Sun_Sonata.mp3 Shadow of the Sun Sonata.pdf MP3 Play / pause JavaScript is required. 0:00 0:00 volume > next menu Shadow_of_the_Sun_Sonata > next PDF Shadow of the Sun Sonata Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luis Hernández Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 I think the melody (violin) is good, interesting, emotional in some parts.... If this is an exercise to rewrite a melody for a given chord progression, I wouldn't have used the piano as background because it has the normal clichés and lacks when someone is not very skilled in piano writing. Mainly that, in many parts, it's just an instrument that plays vertical chords. Well, it's not a piano writing. In other parts it's better. Anyway, when doing this kind of exercises I prefer to use a string background and focus on the melody. On the other hand it's a big job you've made.
