Violin Partita no. 1

Share Download this song

Author Comments

This was an assignment for Orchestra class. It's a Serial composition (we were studying Stravinsky).


If you don't know, Serial music works like this: there's an original row (line of notes), which are then varied, whether played backward or starting at a different note than originally. Anyway. It's not easy to do.


This composition's row is G D A Bb C B Ab F E Eb. It's not a terribly difficult piece (I can play it). It was just a study on serialism, that's all. And I hope you can enjoy it.


Also, a partita can refer to a solo piece or a piece for solo instrument in movements. This is one of the former.


Please feel free to review and such.

Very nice my friend

great job on the serialism
stravinsky is the best (especially the firebird suite)
hope u owned the other students

but rly tho, this would totally fit in one of the cutscenes in my rpg where thers a big monster boss guy character thing in a dark cave n stuff. haha

MusicalRocky responds:

Yeah it's not as hard as it sounds lol.

Yeah that's cause I composed it mostly at school and finished it up real quick at home, so you didn't hear haha.

Yeah stravinsky is the man. Idk if I owned everyone, maybe. lol

Yeah dude put it in ur rpg fo sho. ,lolol

hmm

The Setting Sounds Like

It sounds like this is being played in a mansion by the boss you need to fight while you're sneaking in and stops if you make noise or get spotted.

MusicalRocky responds:

Haha yeah. Suspenseful...

Thanks for reviewing,

Rocky

Interesting...

interesting but i like than be more long
is swwweeeet the violin music

Stay cool!

MusicalRocky responds:

Hm I'm trying to figure out how I skipped this review lol. Anyway...

Yeah, it was just a simple class assignment that needed to be a certain amount of measures, so I was limited (instrument-wise too). So yeah. Maybe I will create a longer serial piece in the future! (String quartet...?!)

Haha thanks for reviewing,

Rocky

very nice rocky

i may be wrong but this sounds like the strings from the firebird ballet. great job on this serial piece. i tip my hat to u

MusicalRocky responds:

It's possible. Stravinsky did Firebird, and he also championed Serial music.

So yeah it's probably there's some similarity. (Not to mention I had been listening to Firebird a lot during the time I wrote this).

I'm glad you liked this, thanks for reviewing,

Rocky
