Kvothe Posted October 27 Posted October 27 Good evening everyone, I have decided to practice my counterpoint skills: I will be going through species first. Then, writing pieces that are not fugal (dances and such). Then learn fugal writing. I would appreciate if you provide feedback. That way, I can correct the mistake I have made. Thank you.

Henry Ng Tsz Kiu Posted 2 hours ago Posted 2 hours ago Hi @Kvothe! If going for a stricter counterpoint, the clash of tritone in b.3 and 4 between B and F would not be permissible. The leap from C to A in the left hand in b.6-7 would not be permissible since it's a major 6th leap, rather than a minor 6th. And to smoothen the counterpoint, whenever after a leap use a step in the opposite direction, as the technique is used by Palestrina. Thx for sharing. Henry Quote
