Counterpoint in G

Daniel Andres - Counterpoint in G

This is a short contrapuntal piece I wrote inspired by the minuets of the Baroque period. I hope you enjoy it.

Wow!

[tocalpianix]

Thanks for watching, dharmaseed.

[deadeaded]

very nice :)

my one comment is that the final chord doesn't quite compliment the tone of the piece. The notes throughout the piece are very detached, almost staccato in some places, and yet you end the song with a very full, round chord. I would have preferred a light ending, perhaps more in the range that your right hand occupies throughout the song.

Thank you for the comment, deadeaded, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I thought about your suggestion for a while but I still think I like this final chord.

@DietGrape Counterpoint uses laws or rules to determine which notes can sound together. Thats very basic what counterpoint is. Because of those rules the separate voices get a certain cohesion you don't get with freely composed music.

This is truly inspiring! I love it. Is this two voices?

[paperwitch]

Well done! Please keep writing counterpoint and creating universes!

[DietGrape]

could someone please explain what counterpoint is to me? From what I understand they're different melodies that can be played together, but aren't like harmonies in 3rds and 5ths. What separates counterpoint from really fancy bass notes?

[mattgresh1]

@arrecotinarrecotan yeah basically

[yumpin]

@deadeaded imo the final chord is okay because it is the tonic chord, although I do think the ending seems abrupt because the dominant was extremely brief and implied before the tonic. If I were to end this piece I would prolong the dominant in the ending cadence. The harmonic rhythm you used is not typical in cadences, which is why it sounds abrupt to my ears

[mattgresh1]

NICE! I would create one for the key of C and D as well. Then I would play the counter points as a progression in G! :O

[ezev8logos]

excellent work!

[gitarmats]

That was really nice!!

Do you have any advice on how to practice stuff like this? What is the brain doing when you play two things at once like this?

I am very curios of how to approach this kind of playing mentaly.

Really enjoyed it, final chord a little sudden in my opinion though, but yep, keep it up!
