Nothing

It's a good start, it sounds nice.
Surely everyone would have taken other solutions at certain times. But essentially it sounds good to me, consonances in place and some dissonance in strong time as a passing note.

Hello @Contrappuntista,

Welcome to the forum!

As Luis said you make good use of consonance and dissonance in the music. You make good use of cadence and follow the tonic-predominant-dominant-tonic formula well enough. I would suggest you extending the music to a longer one, possibly in 16 bars or even 32 bars with a contrasting phrase. Thx for sharing and joining!

Well here's my first piece

Did you delete it? It was probably miles better than my first

Hi @Carl,

The harmony in the Andante in Bb major sounds correct to me. I think you can build up on the 8 bar phrase you have composed to add a contrasting 8 bar phrase in a different key for your studying of prolonging and developing a piece. Thx for update.
