zhenkang Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 (edited) A gigue for Piano and Violin in D minor. There are some modern characteristics, so it can be Neo-baroque. I would like helpful comments for this piece! The motif of the gigue was derived from one of Scarlatti's Sonata. This is one of my works I had composed just recently. I hope it is enjoyable.

Maarten Bauer Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Could you please just add an mp3 file in your post? That is much easier! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilv Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Nice job overall. I recommend adding more themes. A few things to look at: Measures 5 and 57: The second F in left hand doesn't belong. m.7: The first C# in the right hand doesn't belong. Notes during beats 3 and 4 in the left hand do not belong. The last note in a melodic line before a chord change cannot be a nonharmonic tone except during a suspension e.g m.9 right hand. m.11: first half of the right hand doesn't harmonically work here. Leaps of a augmented 4th in a bass line are awkward e.g between measures 12 and 13. m.15: second half of left hand notes doesn't fit harmonically. m.16: second half of measure in piano part doesn't fit. Awkward leap in right hand between measures 16 and 17. Measures 17 and 18: second half of measure in right hand doesn't fit. m.17: First half of measure in left hand doesn't fit harmonically. m.19: G preferred over A in left hand, followed by an E for a logical fit. m.26: Last two notes in left hand don't belong. m.27: The E in the violin part isn't logical harmonically here, so an F is preferred. m.30: last note of left hand should be D instead of E m.33: it would be nice if the last eight note of the left hand were a D. Leaps of augmented 2nds are not nice e.g m.38 left hand. m.49: left hand doesn't fit harmonically. m.51: awkward first C#, right hand m.60: awkward BB chord right hand m.62: early chord change left hand m.63: awkward C# right hand m.64: The triple stop at the end in the violin part is difficult to play in this context 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
