The World Turns

Hi all.

Here's a piece I started developing this week, for a chamber concert in September.

It's for piano, violin and clarinet.

The score is in a very early stage, as it's a brand new work.

Interested to hear what you think about the harmonies, and contrasts within the piece, and whether it suits the instruments?

I hope the melody is original, and not something I've subconsciously copied from somewhere else?

(N.B. Updated versions will be posted below.)

Hey man, cool start you have to this

They're very thin, perhaps fleshing out the piano chords would be a good start? Maybe arpeggiating the block chords after a while in the intro section? The crunchy spicy chords at 1:37 or so are really nice, I'd develop that. 

For the contrasting part, I think it's a good move to go there. Again, the sound is thin, and again I'd fill out the piano more. It's just an easy start, and the notes so far don't look very pianistic. Maybe have some bouncy chords play with that piano line?

I think you're fine here

I know you're using a DAW, so we don't have to talk about the score 😛 

I'm gonna move this to the unfinished section, you might get some more help and attention in that sub forum. Thanks for sharing, and keep us posted on updates! Lovely start so far my friend

Many thanks for your suggestions Vince, they're super helpful!

I've made some minor tweaks to the audio file, as the dynamic variations were a bit too extreme in the previous one.
