My only duet: Bach influenced

Yes, I do compose, in fact, quite a bit, I just am shy ;) and haven't gotten to doing any posting, but I figured why not?

I was browsing my old music files, and I came across a Bach influenced duet that I had composed when I was 14 or so. This isn't my style at all today, in fact, this is the only piece composed that sounds this way. Since I was after all 14, there are mistakes, which I never bothered to correct, and will never since I have a completely new style and interest. Although, Bach is someone who I can never really neglect, and I try to incorporate him somehow into my current pieces.

Duet for Violin and Cello

Yes it's an mp3, sorry! And no, mp3's aren't allowed :)

I'm not the most qualified person to offer an opinion, especially since I've never liked Bach very much- but what if you added some staccato-ed parts, and/or more "space" between some of the parts to enhance phrasing?

I dig the intro & slight contemp twists though :D

:happy: woooow! wonderful piece!!! magnificent textures and sonority!! splendid in every way!!!! Bach would certainly approved it cum lauda! loved at all the refulgent and perfectly fluent, powerful, meaningful and coherent counterpoint!! perfect phrasing as well!!! i think that it is a work of a fully matured composer and it is amazing to know that you have composed it just on your 14's!!!!! wowowow!!! wunderkind! warm congrats!!!!!!! if you have more of this kind of piece make me know! i'd love to listen to>

Wow, you were only 14 when you wrote that?! Great job! At 14, I was just a "band geek", I didn't compose that young! You shouldn't be shy about posting, awesome work, keep posting :laugh:
