Papageno Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Im learning melody writing and using the minuet form. Ive written a few minuets for piano so far and i will most likely add a base for this melody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zhenkang Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Not bad. Really wish to see further development, such as a trio section. Maybe if you like t the end of the first 8 bars, modulate to the dominant? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Orsoni Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Hello, one thing comes to my mind when I hear your beautiful melody. The anacrouse A D (that I will call x) tends to repeat itselfs a little bit too much, as it is already introducing the theme (b. 1, 18). If we look at bars 8 to 11 (b. 8-11) x ends the theme then immediately repeats itself (either by hearing the theme again or the trio). If you try to replace x by an other possibility you might gain in diversity. To replace x, (b. 8-9) I'd say that D C# D will be the most common solution. This works also for the last bars. (b. 10-11) we can think about A A or D D. Most importantly in any case it will have repercutions on b.12-15 because you are doing a sequence. I hope it was helpfull 🦸♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
