January 3, 20242 yr Hey Aaron, The opening of the G minor one is very pop music for me with the descending fifths Romaneszca! There's a parallel fifth between b.2 and 3 though. I love the texture in b.9 which reminds me of JC Bach! Is that intentional you want a bare fifth for the ending without a third? For the G major one I love your octave opening! You are getting more familiar with the language! I also love b.5-6 when the left hand also has dotted rhythm to push the music forward. It's only in b.10 and 12 I may write a dotted rhythm for the left hand to fill up the rest! You really improve in every of your pieces. Maybe you will become the next Mozart! Henry
January 8, 20242 yr Makes for a lovely short minuetto&trio The 2nd volta for the G minor part probably benefits from a second repeat bar where there is just one dotted minum g minor chord instead of 3 crotchets
February 2, 20242 yr These are great and charming pieces! I guess you are still learning, but I feel like these pieces aren't very ambitious. It's easy to get stuck in a certain rut when learning music. Maybe it's your preference to compose only classical galant pieces but if you ever want to grow beyond that you should explore other styles! Even if you don't know the first thing about how to write in other styles you should just experiment and try them out and see how you do! That's my advice - but of course I enjoyed these very much! They are very good for having been composed with the intention of only using one kind of rhythm! Great job and thanks for sharing! Peter
