So, I took AP Music Theory this year in high school, and it's basically a condensed version of the first year of music theory in college (the Tonal Harmony era -- basically, pre-20th century music). It has all of the limitations of pre-20th century works: Circle of Fifths progression, no parallel/direct 5ths or 8ves, movement is usually stepwise with exceptions, one focal point per period, etc.

This work is my final assignment for that class: a flute solo with a piano accompaniment. It's short but sweet and I enjoyed the two weeks of work it ended up being.

Reviews are appreciated. I might edit this later and tell you all what I got on the assignment.

Although classical isn't really my thing, this is a very well done piece! I sure hope someone uses this in a flash movie! Full score, man!

I say this because he really shows what can be done with a flute, and plays extremely complex Bach sonatas and suites for the flute. I only say that so you can see what the flute is completely capable of.

I only say the above because the flute melody is a bit simple, and the piano accompaniment seems to play straight chords for the most part. Baroque and Classical would have arpeggios up the wazoo, and counterpoint melodies and whatnot, while Romantic would have staggering rhythms and elegant and epic scope to their songs.

But then again, you are probably my age and have plenty of time to refine your technique. I hope this goes well with your teacher.

I don't know about how my teacher feels about it yet. She wasn't specific about a time period, though, so I'm not sure if it matters. She did ask that the melody be simple, though -- and I think I pushed her limits even with what I have.

There are arpeggios in the accompaniment, but only in the right hand. I wanted a blocked left hand so that the chord analysis would be easy.

Thanks for your review. :D
