April 18, 2025Apr 18 It's been a while since I've done work in progress stuff. So, in order to stay motivated, I'm gonna post some progress on this revision. I've been in the mood for doing revision of my older pieces, and I wanna rework them with my current knowledge of composition. I've mentioned before that I've been doing some rework on the Alula Variations but I'd probably put it in indefinite pause. With that said, I really love the themes in this but I felt like I could do better with the current version. I've thickened up the accompaniment, added and varied the articulations on both instruments, experimented with dynamics, added a bunch of ornaments, neighbor notes, passing notes, counter point, you name it, added more variety to the harmony, and tinkered with the registral characteristics of the clarinet and used them to my advantages. I especially liked the quasi dance-like rhythm on the current version so I've made the rhythm clearer and more pronounced on that section. I've rewritten the cadenza so it actually contains previous materials and not just some random arpeggios. Although, I've not inputted in the notes on the score yet. You could listen to it on the audio, however. Anyways, feedbacks are always appreciated, tysm. Here's the old version for comparison. Edited April 18, 2025Apr 18 by Ferrum
