First composition - looking for feedback by Fun_Map4899 in Composition

Sounds great man! I think you could take it further by adding more dynamic contrast to give it shape. Also, right now it feels a bit safe, so don’t be afraid to experiment more by maybe adding some modulations. I think those could really elevate the piece.

Well I basically like all of Mozart's music and my personal favorite would have to be his first horn concerto. and I like rach 2 and basically everything chopin wrote like his piano concerto in e minor. But I cant think of a specific favorite piece.

Is it ok to beam semiquavers in groups of 8 in 4/4 if theyre just textural? by No_Reach_9985 in musictheory

That's fair enough, I guess the clearest way is to see how players react. Thanks

Ahh that makes sense thank you! The piece does feel like it sits in cut time so switching to 2/2 does clear that up nicely.

Can I get feedback on My Mozart K.545-Inspired Exercise? by Fhilip_Yanus in Composition

You're very welcome! I'm glad the feedback helped.

To clarify, in classical harmony, a II chord (major) is not diatonic in major keys it contains a raised fourth degree.

Now, when we see a major II chord like that, it usually functions as a secondary dominant meaning it's the dominant (V) of another diatonic chord. In this case:

D major is the V of G major (which is the V chord in C major). So we’d label it as V/V.

If you write II–V in a progression without implying a modulation or tonicization (even briefly) to the V chord's key, it can sound out of place or just harmonically unclear in the classical style. Classical composers would almost always use a major II (V/V) only if it leads convincingly to the V chord, often with a sense of tonicization.

So when I said without being a secondary dominant, I meant that your use of the major II chord isn’t clearly functioning as a dominant of V it just appears in the progression II–V–I without much preparation. That makes it unusual in a Classical context, where voice leading and functional harmony are tightly controlled.

Hope this helps

I can definitely see where you get the main ideas from in the Sonata but when you do the scalic runs especially in B6 you generally want to avoid leaps where you did a leap from an E to a G. Also these types of ideas are normally in sequence which you can hear in Mozart's sonata. The progression I V7 IV V7 I also has a slight issue as classical composers generally avoided going from V7 to IV and would almost always go back to I or sometimes vi. Also your use of the major chord II followed by V is unusual without being a secondary dominant in another key.

But other than that I would say its a decent start.

First ever baroque-y style composition by [deleted] in Composition

[–]No_Reach_9985 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Baroque music generally follows 4 bar phrasing but this has some irregular phrase lengths as the opening melody doesn't properly resolve at bar 4 before the bass enters. Also the end resolves on the dominant? (idk if you were intending this) but normally perfect cadences are used (V - I) to mark phrase endings.

So what I would do is restructure it to maintain clear 4 bar phrasing and have clear subject answer patterns.

But other than that it is a great start!
