UPDATE: I’ve realized this isn’t quite finished. There’s an awkward section featuring a parallel period followed by a modulating, arpeggiated, transitional section followed by the same period transcribed to a relative key. It was a lazy and sort of formulaic approach, so I’ll be expanding that section considerably, which could add about 54-60 measures. I’ll do this sometime in November 2026.
I’ve finished a piece for violin, viola, and cello. It will someday be the first movement in a four-movement work, but I’ve put aside that project to move on to experiment with more complex textures. I have a hankering for a large mixed string/woodwind ensemble, so I’ll be embarking on that soon.
Here’s the piece:
The piece is in sonata form, or first-movement form, with the following sections:
-Primary theme exposition (starts at beginning of piece)
-Secondary theme exposition: 2:00
-Development: 4:30
-Recapitulation of primary theme: 12:15
-Recapitulation of secondary theme: 14:18
