Rabbival507 Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Except for the new thematic material at the end, your use of rhythmic material is good, especially here: where you mixed your A and B. If you want a bass clarinet player to play the piece I'd suggest making it longer. That's a rare instrument (at least here) and I assume that when you find a player he'll expect a longer more developed piece. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monarcheon Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 It's simple, but generally effective. It's clear to listeners how the initial idea gets expanded upon which is really interesting because normally that stuff goes over a lay person's head. What you should watch out for is the "verticalization" of the horizontal lines you create. The listener, now expecting a certain phrase structure, will hear certain lines that fall into a chord as diatonically involved, when oftentimes this isn't what's intended. This happens, for instance, between mm. 9-10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
