Here's another small invention. More quiet than the 1st one. It's an adagio! Mostly done in 2020, but updated in 2026.

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!

Another small invention I created in 2022. The motive is in me1-2. When I saw it I thought 'what the hell am I gonna do with this thing?' And to my surprise, something came out. I couldn't help but bring variations to the motive's repetitive notes. I think the result is somewhat funny.

These are two inventions I wrote after studying species and free counterpoint with a teacher. If you have any feedback, I'd be grateful to here it!

So this invention was composed a day and a half ago, on Monday, some hours prior to a severe mental breakdown I had in Chamber Music class at the conservatory I attend because I hadn't taken my antedepressants and assorted medication for two days straight. And it begs the question, why would I have taken such an unnecesary risk over my own mental health? Well, the answer is plain basic sporadic forgetfulness. That's how stupid I actually am (uncomfortable though perhaps necessary detail: the anxiety actually led me to the hospital tied to a binding wheelchair). Anyways, in the meantime, while I strive for emotional recovery, have this invention as my latest work and possibly the last one for a while, due mostly to exams, stress, and some really rather unbeareable classmates I have had to bear the burden of being with the entire school day for seven months now.

Practicing counterpoint after a long time of inactivity. Thus started with something simple. I have been composing for 8 months and have been inactive for the past 3-4 months. Suggestions on improvements would be appreciated.

A second practice invention.

Two-part invention. My first "serious" invention written after analysis of Bach's two-part inventions.

I spent a good number of hours and wrote this all today. There was a reddit composition challenge for June to write a 2 part invention and I'm a big fan of Bach and developing my faculties in such a way so I gave it a try. Given how much I just winged it and went straight forward with the first subject and so on that I came up with, it pulled together nicely I think.
