caters Posted June 10, 2020 Posted June 10, 2020 I finished my Summer Evening piece for Violin Piano Duet. I wrote it in a rondo form of ABACA Coda, similar to the second movement of the Pathetique Sonata. I wrote it in D major, partly because I thought D major would fit better with the concept of the piece and partly because I wrote it for a Violin Piano Duet and D major is one of those keys that isn't too boring, but at the same time, is easy for both the pianist and the violinist. I have a lot of different textures going on in the piece from Solo to Melody over Accompaniment to Contrapuntal. I even included a chorale like section in Bb major. This is how my Rondo structure turned out as far as keys: A - Beginning section in D major B - More momentum as it goes into B minor and then through a Circle of Fifths like modulation back to D major. A' - Back in D major again, but the violin takes the melody that the piano was playing before and the piano plays a countermelody against it C1 - Sudden forte jolt brings us to the key of G minor C2 - Stormy C minor brings more momentum to the D minor that comes afterwards and quickly modulates to Bb major C3 - Relaxing, Bach-like Chorale in Bb that seamlessly modulates to D major for the last A section A'' - Piano now has it's initial melody back, but the violin plays a countermelody in a higher register Coda - Piano and Violin harmonizing each other for half of it, contrapuntal for the other half What do you think of my piece?
