On this date, I continued to make my first piece. After the feedback that I got last Thursday from my supervisor, I changed parts of my composition and continue as the feedback that I got from my supervisor was that my format and transition was not correct so I had to change it to become sonata form. Below is my embedded Piece.
Subject A is from Bar 1 to Bar 15
Subject B is from Bar 16 and so on (not finished yet).

This piece that I created is based of from Kuhlau's Sonatina First Movement in C Major. I added in dynamics to the piece as well as slurs and the others. On bar 12 until bar 15, I added in a little bit minor part so the song would be interesting when heard by people. The melody is on the left hand and mostly triplets were used. I was quite challenging for me to make sonatinas but somehow I quite enjoy it as well.

On this date, I analysed more about sonatinas and then I chose a motive from a sonatina that inspires me and I started to create my first piece based on that motive. I took the motive from Kuhlau's Sonatina as this inspired me into making this first parts of the piece. The tonality of this 'piece' is Major and more specifically in C Major. The speed of this piece is a little bit above normal speed. The intro of this piece is quite simple but as it goes on it gets harder bit by bit. The challenges that I faced was that I cannot make the piece too easy as it is a sonatina not a normal piece that even an 7th grader can make. However, overall I enjoy making this piece as this can develop my composition skills especially making sonatinas in the future.

Below is my first 10 bars of my first piece. Link is below the embedded score.

On this date, I did some rechecking about my sonatina analysis that I did a couple of days ago and the feedback that my supervisor gave was that I had to add more details to my analysis as I also think that it is not really detailed. I was feeling a little bit stressed because there were so many assessments that were about to be due in a couple days. I might continue about the week after so that I can complete all my assessments first. Next since it is already near to the mid of October, as according to my time frame, I will start to make my first piece, which it is based on a sample sonatina but I take the motive and change most of it.
