Dissonant Counterpoint Exercise

Featured Replies

I'm wanting to impress doctorate programs with portfolios so I'm entering dissonant counterpoint along with one of the other tonal fugues I entered here. Does anyone see any mistakes or issues?

Hi. Nice piece. Nice sound the harpsichord.

I've been taking a look at the score and it's interesting the different approaches. I wrote some dissonant counterpoint a few days ago.

Thanks!
