Two pieces for fagot and piano

HI all, I wrote these two little pieces.

I liked the Allegro more than the Andante.  It seemed to have more memorable melodies to me.  The Andante did create a kind of an apathetic atmosphere though which was nice to sink into.  I like also how the Allegro plays around with metric changes.  The memorable melodies to me happen at measure 17 and later when that same melody is echoed by the bassoon at m. 21 is really cool.  I also like your harmonic language which seems to be just tonal enough but dissonant enough to be fresh and unexpected.  Nice job!

Thanks for your time listening to this.

I always encourage people to explore harmony, ... Yes, the pieces are tonal, but the progressions are not very standard. I erased the notation of chords for uploading the scores here. But I used to write them.

Contrary to the post above, I liked the andante movement more. There is intense emotions and gives the desired feeling.

That's fair. Personal taste.

So you used to write chord names above the measures of your score?  That's kinda cool.  Did you use roman numerals or letter names?

You're welcome!  I enjoyed listening.

@PaperComposer I write the names of the chords, whenever the music is tonal. Some people ask me to do it.
