Dissonant Counterpoint Exercise


Recommended Posts

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. I read about it and I don't know if it has been established the "rules". I see you've been using seconds/sevenths mostly, with some tritones. When there are three voices, the feeling is stronger but it's well done seting the voices apart.

I used seconds too, but also fourths, and sometimes other intervals in non strong places.

 

But what I thing is most interesting is that it seems you wrote the piece from an atonal point of view, while I did it from a tonal one. In case you can hear it, I upoloaded it here:
