Diabelli Project 197 - Woodwind Trio Mvt. 2B

The Diabelli Project is about offering my weekly flash-composition sketches freely to all. Like Antonio Diabelli's theme, these sketches aren't great music. But perhaps (as in Diabelli's case) there's a Beethoven out there who can do great things with them.

This woodwind trio project will cover six weeks, in pairs. The first week will be the beginning of a movement (written in a 10-minute flash session), and the following week, I'll continue the sketch for another 10-minute session. Then I'll move on to the next movement and continue the pattern.

This week's sketch continues the middle movement.  The eighth-note accompanying figure that started in the bassoon is now shared between the flute and the bassoon. The clarinet solo takes the trio up to the first major cadence point, which occurs in the last measure.

What happens next? I'm not entirely sure, but probably a key change and perhaps some close-knit polyphony. Maybe.

As always, you can use any or all of the posted Diabelli Project sketches as you wish for free. Just be sure to share the results. I'm always curious to see what direction someone else can take this material.
