Diabelli Project - Woodwind Trio Project (194-199)

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.

My goal with these flash composition exercises is to continually push myself creatively. Over the past six weeks, I worked on one piece -- a woodwind trio. I wanted to write a three-movement work, each movement sketched in two successive flash composition sessions. I knew I wouldn't finish the piece. But devoting two sessions to each movement developed them enough that I can see where they're going. And that means I can complete them at my leisure.

As with the Duet for Clarinet and Bass Clarinet, I'll post the finished sketches.

Movement 1 - Allegro



Movement 2 - Adagio



Movement 3 - Presto




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.
