Concerto grosso in C-Major, Mvmnt II

Finally, the 2nd movement!!! Yay, I'm sooo happy :)
The second movement is extremely morose. It's an Adagio/Canon. In the beginning of the piece, the viola and fortepiano take the melody, and it is then repeated an octave higher by the violin and harpsichord (with a little improvisation on the violin's part). In the second phrase, the violin begins the melody and the viola finishes it. In the third phrase, the fortepiano begins the melodic line, to be repeated by the harpsichord, viola and violin (respectively). The harmony line, which is started by the fortepiano when the harpsichord starts the main melody, is repeated by the harpsichord and later the viola.
After the violin takes the stage, the fortepiano goes into a little cadenza, and finishes off with the opening phrase.

How long have you been writing baroque-style pieces?

[animeviolalord]

@bersa888: Not that long...a little less than a year.

Like the piece a lot

[animeviolalord]

@lucacallegaro: Thank you very much! I'll try to have the third movement up in a few months.

Very nice. IMO the piano sounds a little out of place at times, but over all it was very good.

¡Bello movimiento!.
