Hi folks,

I'm back to composing after an inspiration drought of several months, that I attempted to break this week 🙂

This is an allegro moderato, first movement of a string quartet that will have three of them.

It's not aimed at being technical or something, just pleasant to one's ears.

Regarding the structure, I wrote 2 main themes A and B, which you'll find in A B A C B A structure

Regards

Marc

Hello @Marc Deflin!

I really enjoy this classical style movement. I love the imitation between instruments in the piece, particularly when you give the theme to viola, the poorly neglected child in a quartet in b.17! In theme C in b.61 you give the theme to cello which is a great variation to me! Also your usage of pizzicato is good, I love it. Maybe one thing is the melody of the piece, as both themes A and B is more motivic and less melodic, but this is personal. Thx for sharing!

Hi @Henry Ng Tsz Kiu and thanks for your kind comment !

I'm really glad you enjoyed this first movement.

You're right about the motivic themes ; I might have been influenced by a short menuet for string quartet that I had written just before as a training in order to learn to use Dorico which i recently acquired.

Have a nice day !
