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!

Welcome to the forums.

Can you provide a score to your music? I'd be able to provide better feedback with a score.

 

I have made changes to measure 13, last note: C3 instead of C. Leave the C in Bass, for modulation.

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.

Thanks. Yes the colours in the pdf help working and recognizing the motives. I've put it in b&W (below) 😉. After over 1600 small exercises in melody, harmony and counterpoint (all with 6 Goetschius books) + 25 invention, I don't know what 'level' I am at. I've never had feedback until now!
