Double variations for solo violin

This is a set of variations on two alternating themes for solo violin. I would love some feedback on the string writing generally, as I don’t play a string instrument and this is going to be premiered in the not too distant future. My friend who will be performing it says it’s alright, but I would love to get another violinists opinion on this score.

Thanks!

(Unfortunately, I don’t have the MIDI file for this on hand, so I’m posting this now and will attach that later! With that said, this piece requires tempo flexibility that MIDI just can’t execute, so bear that in mind please.)

And here is the all-important MIDI file, as promised!

i love how it sounds! will the premiere be recorded, and if so, would you consider uploading it? it would be very cool to hear this with a real violin

to be fair, i havent played the violin for many years, but i am unsure of the practicality of b. 6 mainly. although, if the person who's performing it is happy, then its probably fine

Yes, it will be recorded! I’ll probably end up making some kind of synchronized video once the premiere happens. Thank you for your interest!

It’s funny you mention b.6, that was one of the spots my violinist friend mentioned as a potential issue. We’re going to have a call sometime soon and go through and fix a bunch of stuff.
