J. Lee Graham Posted Thursday at 01:02 AM Posted Thursday at 01:02 AM Greetings All: Sharing my Viola Sonata on this Thanksgiving-Eve. The style I was trying to emulate is early Beethoven, in my own inimitable way. The parts are equal - in fact, as was often the case in Beethoven's sonatas, the Piano takes the upper hand about as often as the Viola does. Hope you enjoy! Composed: April 19 - July 4, 2022 at Austin. Style: Classical, ca. 1790-1800. Duration: 18:10. Electronic Rendering by Finale 26 music notation software’s "Human Playback" with NotePerformer 3 artificial intelligence assisted interpretation. 1 Quote
Kvothe Posted 34 minutes ago Posted 34 minutes ago Hello @J. Lee Graham: First, let address the technical issues. In the first movement, you have the viola jump from the jump positions a lot. This is technically hard for the player. You have E# in 3rd pos to 1st pos. It could easier, if this was you kept on the same pos. On a similar note, you can use the treble cleft when notes go to IV. It is easier to read without the legar lines. On the overall form, it does fit, with in the era you want to write for. Great job. Quote
