Frederic Gill Posted Thursday at 05:34 AM Posted Thursday at 05:34 AM (edited) Hi everyone. So far, I have studied with Percy Goetschius books and am practicing small 2-part inventions (about 1 minute long) as taught in his Elementary Counterpoint and Applied Counterpoint books. I wonder if there are other beginners working on this and willing to share our works. My goal is to use counterpoint with freedom, yet in a sensible way. I use Myriad Melody Assistant piano. Here is one example, with a motive from Handel (F maj). I apologize for the poor sound quality (I'll try to find a good alternative for my .myr files). Thanks!

muchen_ Posted Thursday at 10:14 AM Posted Thursday at 10:14 AM Welcome to the forums. Can you provide a score to your music? I'd be able to provide better feedback with a score. 1 Quote

Luis Hernández Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago Sounds good. The 13th bar is strange, but I see you've made a correction. I think there's some pretty good imitative treatment, characteristic of the Inventions. So many colours confuse me a bit. I suppose they highlight imitations or motifs, but as I'm colour blind, I can't tell. Best regards. Quote
