Moderato for Violin and Basso Continuo in F Major

Featured Replies

Here is piece I wrote for violin and Basso Continuo. There might be some mistakes and I still need to add the figured bass. Any feedback is welcomed!

Also, musescore for some reason does not do the trills right, so to me they sound bad!

Hi @Guardian25!  I think the trills can be fixed and redered better if you use the Musesounds Violin instead of the MS Basic soundfont!  I think whenever Musescore renders a trill with the MS Basic soundfonts, it just alternates between the two notes as quickly as possible which does not sound good and results in a very robotic sound, like you said.  But if you use Musesounds it will be much more humanized and realistic sounding imo!

I think there are some notes that sound really wrong to me!  Meas. 18 & 19 - the G#'s sound really bad to my ear!  I think if you kept them as G naturals, it might sound better because an E minor chord is more diatonic to the key than a major one.  Also at measure 24, the B natural sounds out of place to me as well, since the key has a Bb in it - I think a Bb would fit much better (but it's just my opinion and you are the composer and are free to do as you wish of course).  Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the feedback! I will try out the Musesounds violin!

I agree there are some notes that I need to change, and there are some other flaws that needs to be changed to the idea as well! I guess I was mainly looking for a general feedback on how the idea sounds, and if it sounded decent to anyone?
