Minuet in F

Featured Replies

Hello people!  I was searching for some of my old music and found some dances I composed a long time ago in the sequencer (before I started writing on paper).  I took the old midi of this minuet and imported it into MuseScore and tweaked it a little to make it look nicer.  I am sure that this does not follow the traditional form meant for a minuet (binary) - I don't think I was trying to write in any particular form when I wrote this nor follow any particular rules in voice leading and counterpoint (so I am sure I break some rules such as the one about having melodic tritones).  Let me know what you think!  I wasn't planning on publishing this as I am currently working on something else but it took only a little of my time and I've never showed it to anyone before.  Your comments and suggestions would be much appreciated!

Im glad you decided to share your minuet. The theme is catchy and stately. I can imagine a ball in the eighteenth century with dancers politely bowing. The form isn't a strict minuet but I think it works. Its a great piece.

Thank you!  I was worried that it might have been too typically minuet-ish and lacking in originality.
