@@yoavshati This Allegretto is such a lovely working of an 18th century dance form; it would make a lovely finale as a gigue in a suite. If your ideas are not yet formed, I have an alternative option - and one that might ‘suit’ you. Write a suite instead, taking inspiration, particularly, from the ‘Italian’ style suites of Bach and Handel. Then (instead of a rondo finale), you could write an opening Allemande and Courante. (Your adagio could be either a Sarabande or a Pavane, preceding this Allegretto (Gigue).
@noelleggett5368 I tried writing suites in the past but I don't really get the dance forms. I should study it properly at some point and compose a suite, but this ensemble is already a big challenge for me so I think I'll stick to what I know for now (and the adagio's material really isn't fit for dancing to, so I couldn't really use it for a suite)
@@yoavshati Then I’ll look forward to your completed trio in sonata form…. and maybe a suite later. 😀 (I wrote a sarabande a few years ago for a suite that I never finished. I’ll have to put that back on my list for next year.)
Thank you! I could have done it in a few other ways but the problem to be solved is that the melody fragment that I used in sequence was 3 beats long and not an even number. I chose to switch to 9/8 to clearly show that these are 3 beats of melody that repeat in sequence without having to go back and forth between 6/8 and 3/8 or whatever other solution I technically could have just had one measure of 3/8 somewhere, but I wanted to make sure that all the strong beats still arrived on the strong beats on the measure A totally different approach would be to make the melody 4 beats long, but I liked the rushed feeling of "skipping" the 4th beat and going straight to the retreat after only 3 beats. I think it really adds to the energy right before the dominant pedal point marking the end of the development section and the return of the first theme
as an oboe and English hornist, who has also dabbled in bass oboe - This is awesome man!!
Thank you so much!
Such an elegant piece and you did a great job at keeping it interesting throughout! Really good work, Yoav :)
@@ellybargmusic thank you Elly!
Charming! Well done!
Thank you! I hope I can finish the adagio soon, and then a minuet and a rondo maybe

Very good
Thank you!
u need to download muse sounds, this would sound so good
I'm pretty sure I made it with muse sounds already
This is great man!! May I ask what were the reasons to the change of metric in measure 112? Just curious
Thank you!
