Diabelli Project (200-203) Piece for Violin and Piano

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.

To mark my 200th flash composition, I'm expanding the concept a little bit. I've still limited myself to a 10-minute session. But this time each sketch will pick up where the last one left off over the course of the month.

Here's the result. I was able to complete the first section of the piece, and get a good start on the second. Even though it wasn't written in a single session, the piece holds together pretty well. Although there are some surprises -- which is the point of this exercise. I bypass my internal editor to just let the ideas flow.

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.
