I made a bossa nova for a composition prompt. | Bossa in E minor by Mary James

This is my first time engraving. No, I won't stop using paintings.

[@MaryJamesMusic]

Estoy de acuerdo, pero no viviría sin otros géneros, como el preludio y fuga 🫂

Debussy looking treble cleff

[@MaryJamesMusic]

I find it more similar to Beethoven's one

[@ravelian]

lovely! what software did you use for playback?

[@MaryJamesMusic]

MuseScore Studio 😅

[@andreamurrone_pianoforte]

Nice with the sheet music 👌 Is the prompt the first 4 bars?

[@MaryJamesMusic]

What do you mean with the prompt?

[@andreamurrone_pianoforte]

@@MaryJamesMusic I thought "to partecipate in his composition prompt" was a composition over a given material given by this guy to others (I thought prompt meant hint) 😅

[@MaryJamesMusic]

He gave instructions, a samba or rag in E minor, it must modulate to the relative major at some point, which was the final chord lol (this was unexpected, I forgot that rule, but by impulse I put a G major as final chord)

[@andreamurrone_pianoforte]

@@MaryJamesMusic nice use of this rules, and the G major 😁

[@MaryJamesMusic]

@@andreamurrone_pianoforte Thank you, I always put the rules of harmony at its limits 😅 (in some parts I literally modulated one every chord)
