IM BACK!!! -Suite for 3 bassoons "Mickey"

Hello everyone!

It has been a very long time since I was on this forum and Im excited to share something again and discuss it with other people! For if you dont know who I am: I am Leonardo! I am a 20 year old dutch dude thats studies Bassoon in Amsterdam! I also play piano, violin and as you can see I compose as well. Of course my main focus is Bassoon at the moment.

I will share my latest work in progress: a suite for bassoon trio! I have been working on this piece on and off for about 4 weeks and have finished the first 2 movements and a schets of the 4th movement. Im sharing this to get some feedback, because honestly I want to know if it has some potential before I commit more time into it.

Alright now to the music! So this piece is named "Mickey" which is the name of my family cat. Sadly he is very ill with heart and lung problems... Thats why I named this piece after him.

All movements in the pdf:

1st: "Voorspel", is translated to "Pregame" or "Foreplay". Maybe sounds kinky but it really just means "prelude" hahaha.  

2nd: "Gedachten", is translated to "thoughts". This movement has a more serious tone.

3d: (audio is not added in because its not finished). Its a fugue like movement where I follow most of the rules of a fugue.

4th: "Ooit", is translated to "Ever". I started this schets 2 days ago and finished it today. You can ignore whats on the final page. Let me know in particular if you like this one, im on the fence myself..

Thank you for taking your time! I really appreciate it immensely! I hope to hear from you soon! 🙂

Greetings,

Leonardo C. Nunez

This is effectively moody, the first two movements which I have already heard I mean. Why will you follow fugue rules in mvmt 3? Even those who diligently study Fux's "Graddus ad Parsnips" must at one point move on to radishes. Am I wrong or am I not wrong? Go for it I say, finish this sucker off.

self promotion at its finest! LOL jk man. Good to have you back!! Miss the mind bending chromaticism around these parts. These are so effortlessly cool.

Thank you for your comment! I just feel like writing a 3d movement like that. Remember that this will be a suite with idk 8 movements or something like that. I think 1 of those movements can be a fugue. Just wait until its finished and tell me then if you like it or not. It wont just sound like a Bach fugue.
