Diabelli Project 195 - Woodwind Trio, Mvt. 1B

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 to develop the three-note motif I started out with. Also note the accompanying rhythmic pattern in the clarinet and bassoon. It's the opening rhythm reversed. I didn't plan it that way -- I noticed it after I finished the sketch and placed it next to the previous one.

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.
