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 is the eleventh installment of my Clarinet and Marimba Duet. The goal of these flash composition sessions is to get the editor/critic part of my brain out of the way of my creative part. And often that means I surprise myself.
In this case, when I started my 10-minute flash session, I suddenly felt like the piece had almost arrived at the final section. I already knew the final section would be a recap of the first. And in this case, a somewhat condensed version of it.
My internal editor/critic thought there might be another week or so of work to do on this, but my subconscious gets the last word. So the piece is finished. Next week I'll publish the full score with final comments.
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.
