panta rei Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Here is a Minuet, which I recently composed. Apart from a classical style, there are also some elements of Nordic folk music. I would be very interested to find out what you think of it.

Quinn St. Mark Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 (edited) G'day @panta rei, As I was listening to this piece, I was going to suggest that maybe it was a bit predictable, but you blew my expectations completely out of the water with its variation of intensity and mood and progressive tonality. Serves me right for judging too soon! A very solid effort 🙂 Edited April 7 by Quinn St. Mark Addition of another word Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panta rei Posted April 9 Author Share Posted April 9 Hello Quinn, Yea, I can imagine that you began to feel that the piece was becoming repetitive. (This is of course often the case in folk music). But then I added a surprise after bar 32, and went more in the direction of classical style music. However, in the end, I came back to the initial motif. Thanks a lot for your response!

Henry Ng Tsz Kiu Posted Sunday at 01:42 PM Share Posted Sunday at 01:42 PM Hi @panta rei, As @Quinn St. Mark said maybe the pattern is a bit repetitive, but it is greatly compensated for your modulation, which is featured in Mike’s new video on modulations! The modulations are full of Schubertian wit and light heartedness. The F major modulation and ending is so witty. You cleverly induce us to think the piece would end in tonic major, but then that Bb in b.93 surprises us and a German sixth follows. It can well named a Moment Musical for me haha! Thx for sharing!
