Hello my fellow composers!

I bring you good cheers with this waltz. I was influenced by Woo works by Beethoven.  While he has known for his large opus works, the woo works were less known. To me, they are fit with in early his period. They can be used to teach us much about harmony, form, and counterpoint. The waltz I wrote demonstrates: 

1.  BInary form is easy form to write with

2. T-D scheme is great approach.

3. Melodic sequences!

and many more. 

Style: classical

time: possible around early 1800's? 

Side note: I have not posted anything to YT. I am planning to: and those will be shared on here, with links.

Hi @Kvothe!

This waltz is for sure a lovable little waltz in Classical style. One thing sounds slightly off to me: the modulation to D major in b.9 (b.8 in your score) sounds fine to me, but it sounds like it’s never resolved and it goes straight to G major, without having a perfect cadence itself. And for the dominant G major it is only given 2 bars’ space suddenly the music returns to tonic in the reprise. Maybe for me I would just modulate from D to G in b.10 in your score, and then in b.12 the b.8 melody returns in G major, then complete a PAC on G before going back to C.
