Violin sonata movement 1

Featured Replies

Hi this score is a bit short for now but I plan on making a second and third movement.

Hi @hw1234,

The first half can be a good reprise for a ternary form! 

Also you also work more on the harmonic progressions and the voice leading of chords. For example it will be strange to begins in G major in b.12 after a PAC in A minor in b.11 since the chords are quite unrelated. The nature of a chord is important too. Bare fifths in b.6 ,b.12-13 and b.28 will be strange in your music if you want to have the music in the Classical Style since bare fifths are ambiguous for its quality whether it's major and minor.

But I am happy to see that you have tried to extend your movements! Probably the opening theme can be restated later and the theme in b.19 can be stated first in e minor to make sense of the form!

Hey there,

As I violinist and as a composer, I really love this little baroque-esque violin sonata movement that you've got here. Nice use of counterpoint and terrace dynamics throughout. One thing that did throw me off was those octave jumps in bars twelve through fifteen, which sounded quite out of place with the rest of the piece, in my opinion anyways.

 

I would recommend that you listen to some of the great baroque violinist composers while composing the rest of your sonata. Some good ones are Vivaldi and Corelli (both of whom you've most likely heard of) and Jean Marie-Leclair (can never spell his name correctly) and Jean Baptiste Lully (who I also hope you've heard of).

 

Anyhow good job with this piece,
