counterpoint First Counterpoint Attempt

Hello Guys,

This is my very first counterpoint attempt. It's just a brief piano piece. What do you think? The music sheet is an auto-generated one because I'm lazy...

Hi @olivercomposer!

Your unique style of writing still comes through in this inventive piece.  It is catchy because the reused rhythmic motives are like an ear worm, but it also has variety because the intervals in your motives do not stay the same.  Even though you use the bIII and bVI I still perceive the piece to be kind of tonic heavy (maybe because in the Baroque style it is expected that modulations happen through the use of secondary dominants or secondary vii chords and that they lead episodically to re-expositions of the motive in new keys which you don't do).  I am glad to see and hear that you are still exploring new ways to approach the craft of composition!  And the new aspects of music that you are exploring will for sure enrich all of your subsequent music!  Thanks for sharing.

Hi,

Thanks for your detailed comment, and your suggestions. I'm planning to continue this experimentation with counterpoint. It's an interesting field.

To me it sounds like modern baroque (neo-baroque?) because the conduction of voices is not as expected and also certain intervals that are supposed to be dissonant, etc...
But as it sounds good, I like it.
