In the last days I was working on this little elegy for piano. I call it My Lament. It starts rather sad, has some eruptions in the middle but resolves peacefully towards the end. http://www.gerdprengel.de/my_lament.mp3 http://www.gerdprengel.de/my_lament.pdf Gerd

This work wants to paint the rising of the sun, the sun beaming through the clouds and mirroring in a mountains brook, it's merciles power in the desert, it's life giving power and it's sunset at the end of a day. Just as well it may describe the rise, splendour & passing of a man . . . one of my favourite works . . . http://gerdprengel.de/the_sun.mp3 Gerd

Violin sonata in e-minor I. Allegro ma non troppo
gprengel replied to gprengel's topic in Chamber Music
Thank you, Belasek and caters, for your helpful hints! I will revise my piece accordingly! You wrote " I would rewrite it so that it will be played on G-string" - What do you mean by that? How can I do that? I thought the player automatically know best what string to use ...- 6 replies

Fugue "Anno Domini 2020" in G minor.
gprengel replied to Fugax Contrapunctus's topic in Piano Music, Solo Keyboard
Wow, a great work! But I can't fully enjoy it because of the soundquality of the instrument. Could you please present it also with a piano ? Gerd -
A few years ago a short sketch for a Bagatelle from 1826 was identified among Beethoven's sketches for his last stringquartett. On this beautiful melancholic theme with an harmonically interesting bassline I wrote 8 variations for piano. Besides bars 9-12 the first 16 bars are from Beethoven. What do you think ...? http://gerdprengel.de/var_bagatelle.mp3 http://gerdprengel.de/var_bagatelle.pdf Gerd

(sorry, I presented this in the wrong board - I added it also now in the piano board) Hi, a few years ago a short sketch for a Bagatelle from 1826 was identified among Beethoven's sketches. On this beautiful melancholic theme with an harmonically interesting bassline I wrote 8 variations for piano. Besides bars 9-12 the first 16 bars are from Beethoven (another set of variations for string quartett on a sketch from this time I presented a few weeks ago). What do you think ...? Is it playable? Thank you ... http://gerdprengel.de/var_bagatelle.mp3 http://gerdprengel.de/var_bagatelle.pdf Gerd

What a delightful piece! Very melodious and nice instrumentation! What tool did you you use for the strings sounds? Gerd

Absolute beauty regarding melody and voice leading, especially in the slow movement! Thank you, Markus! Gerd

I found a very beautiful Adagio melody sketch found among Beethoven's sketches for his quartett op. 130 . I liked this theme so much that in April I wrote a variation movement for string quartett on this. It starts with the naked theme, then it is repeated with an added bass line and a second part from me, then 7 variations follow: http://www.gerdprengel.de/Beeth_quartett_sketch_1825_variations.mp3 http://www.gerdprengel.de/Beeth_quartett_sketch_1825_variations.pdf I hope it will speak to you ... and I am open for any suggestions for improvement ...

Dear Theodore, I am amazed about the beauty of your great quartett! I absolutely love it - both regarding the composition and the superb performance! I am so glad that today people like you are still writing such great music in the style of the Romantic. Do you have a score to present? Gerd

The second movement is based on these sketches: www.gerdprengel.de/Mendelssohn_unfinished_symphony_Andante_sketch.pdf By now I shortened the Andante in the middle part, origninally it was too long. It has now this Structure: 0:00 Andante cantabile main part, melody and bass line sketch by Mendelssohn 2:55 Andante con moto 4:59 3 variations on the main theme 7:11 Reprise 10:00 Coda, final variation of main theme see the links in top of the thread ... I am curious about your impressions ... what would you have done with the Andante sketches? Gerd

Mozart PianoSonata c-minor KV457 - orchestrated
gprengel replied to gprengel's topic in Orchestral and Large Ensemble
Thank you, this is very helpful!!!! I will correct it!! Would you please also take a look at my Mendelssohn symphony project a few threads further down? For me this is even more important than the Mozart... Regards Gerd -

For both practicing orchestration and just for fun I made this attempt to orchestrate my favourite piano sonata by Mozart which, I think, is well suited for a symphonic setting: http://www.gerdprengel.de/Mozart_PianoSonata-KV457-1_orch.mp3 http://www.gerdprengel.de/Mozart_PianoSonata-KV457-1_orch.pdf (score) http://www.gerdprengel.de/Mozart_PianoSonata-KV457-2_orch.mp3 http://www.gerdprengel.de/Mozart_PianoSonata-KV457-3_orch.mp3 Gerd

Last year I made the most interesting discovery that in the month his violin concerto had it's first performance (March/April 1845) Mendelssohn was working on a 6th symphony in C-Major! For the 1st mov. he wrote the first about 80 bars in full score and some sketches for the 2nd theme and the development. This fascinated me so much that I tried to make a full movement of it. I finally could also get the sketches for a second movement from a library in Oxford and made it to complete also this to a whole Andante movement of about 14 minutes. The first 2:50 minutes are based on a full melody sketch with various hints to the accompaniement by Mendelssohn. After orchestrating this I continued with a new middle part with various themes with each increasing in strength and coming to a dramatic climax with an appassionate fugato. After this various variations of Mendelssohn's beautiful Andante theme follow until a recapitulation of the beginning and a most tender final variation. I.Allegro http://www.gerdprengel.de/Mendelssohn_unfinished_symphony1.mp3 http://www.gerdprengel.de/Symphony_in_C_Allegro.pdf II. Andante cantabile http://www.gerdprengel.de/Mendelssohn_unfinished_symphony_Andante.mp3 http://www.gerdprengel.de/Mendelssohn_unfinished_symphony_Andante.pdf It would help me to get your impressions ... Thank you Regards, Gerd
