June 8, 20232 yr Here is the start of my paiano concerto does anyone have any ideas on what the next section should sound like? Henry
June 8, 20232 yr Hi @HtWinsor, For me I like the opening 16 bars, as I do feel it's quite fluent and classical there. But when the piano joins, there are way too many unnecessary perfect cadence on E major the tonic. In b.24 the rhythm in the piano is very un-classical. It's not a bad thing itself; actually it's a funny rhythm, but the rhythm just doesn't match the overall context here! For me the next section you should go to B major with new materials as the second theme. That C# major ending is abrupt. You can turn that to a C# minor and hence allows smoother transition to B major using C# minor as a pivotal chord. Henry
