Sonatina, Op. 1, No. 1 - Five Galant Pieces

Featured Replies

 

Hi @Cafebabe!

What a wonderfully delightful Galant piece!  I think it could easily be a middle movement in a sonata - a fast minuet or a scherzo.  The only thing that I see to critique is that the piece seems to be in 6/8 throughout its duration except for the brief part in 4/4.  And you group your notes quite often into 2 groups of 3 rather than 3 groups of 2 as would be customary in 3/4.  6/8 is basically in 2 where each beat is subdivided into 3 notes.  Thanks for sharing and I'm stoked for the other movement(s)!

Hello @Cafebabe,

This piece reminds me very much of Scarlatti given its light touch, texture and also how you modulate to distnat key A minor in b.81 from F sharp major! The harmony in the piece is very fitting to the style and I love your German sixth usage. Thx for sharing this light hearted piece!
