Hey guys, just posting a short piece I did a while ago for one of my music theory courses at school.

It changes keys several times, but my favorites are the modulations between Aminor and Cmajor every two measures in the later parts. The first part is pretty much counterpoint.

Nice work man. I have a novice's grasp of theory, but since since I've been listening to more classical music lately, now I at least know what counterpoint is. And yeah, liked the key changes too. Can you play this as well?
And on a side note, it loops pretty seamlessly well. I just happen to keep my media player on repeat. If it weren't for that very last note of resolution at the end, I wouldn't notice when it repeats.

Hey Jolly, nice work there man.
I like the way you use the counterpoint in that piece, I can hear perfectly both melodies at the same time, and the modulation to the Major relative adds an interesting mood to the tune.
The inversions on the diminished arpeggios well supported by a prog. of 4 chords resolve nicely to the i chord from the V7.
Keep the good work.

What are you working on these days?
Someday I`ll play like in my dreams.

Nothing musically, sadly. I was doing a string quartet for a while, but ran out of free time to spend on it. Now I'm working pretty much entirely on Modern British Literature and analysis thereof, though I've been doing a lot of American lit recently...
