Guillem82 Posted June 6, 2022 Posted June 6, 2022 Pieces for String trio n.3_DM.pdf Hi, in the last months I have been writing a series of short pieces for string trio (2 violin, cello and continuo). Most of them are written in rounded binary form. I find this is an amazing combination for baroque, galant and early classic style and also for practicing counterpoint and imitation. I hope you enjoy. As always, I appreciate your comments.

PeterthePapercomPoser Posted June 11, 2022 Posted June 11, 2022 Is this a minuet? Sure sounds like one. I like how you vary the phrase lengths so that the listener is kept in constant suspense, not knowing when the cadence will finally arrive. Thanks for sharing! Quote
Markus Boyd Posted June 13, 2022 Posted June 13, 2022 As this is intended as a minuet, I think it would benefit from consistent phrasing. In addition, there are places that contain parallel 5ths between the first and second violin. Conservatively speaking, this form benefits from a sharp relationship between the bass and leading melody. I always compose the upper and lower voice in first instance with this form. I have reworked your opening somewhat to illustrate how I would approach your ideas. MP3 Play / pause JavaScript is required. 0:00 0:00 volume > next menu Minuet > next PDF Minuet Quote
