Hi! I'd like to share my another chamber piece (saxophone quartet) for your comments... Actually I wrote this piece inspired by Jazz or Bebop I've enjoyed listening since my childhood... Although this piece is not exactly in jazz or bebop style, I just tried to express in music my feeling after listening to lots of music from Charlie Parker, Dizzie Gillespie, etc... Also, the score is in C but I'd like to make part scores too after getting done with full score version... Thanks so much for your help! Edward

Hej. Check out my new piece of work. Pianist Diego again did a wonderful work by playing it. Thank you.

Yes it sounds classical, but good.

very nice

Yes it would. Fugues usually do this, breaking down the subject into motifs for the episodes if they exist, doing all kinds of things to the subject like augmentation, diminution, inversion etc. The first movement of Beethoven's Fifth is also a good example of something written by developing a motif in all kinds of ways as just about every single note of the first movement originates from the opening motif. And the Beethoven example is also a good example of how you can get contrast from the same motif as the second theme just takes the melodic aspect of the motivic statement of the horns(which is in turn an expansion of the opening motif of G x3, Eb, F x3, D), that Bb, Eb, F, Bb, inverts it so it ascends rather than descends, and connects the notes to form a new melody from the motif. It definitely could be, especially if you want to go down the route of fugue rather than something closer to the Beethoven. And if nothing else, it will mean you have more skills and can write things like string quartets and stuff better. It depends. In a fugue, not really. In the Beethoven example, the second movement uses much less of the opening motif than the other movements, mostly using it in the transitions from the Ab major theme to the triumphant C major that foreshadows the Finale.
