71.99Mini-composition exercise

Write 32 bars for piano with one main melody and one recurring countermelody.

Requirements:

• first 8 bars: counterline appears only in melody rests
• one held melody note with active chromatic inner line
• one contrary-motion passage
• one parallel-third/sixth passage
• one guide-tone-based secondary line
• one suspension resolving late
• one anticipatory counterline note arriving before a chord change
• one motif-derived counterline
• one section where the countermelody disappears entirely
• one transformed return near the ending
• one final moment where melody and counterline converge in unison or octave

The listener should always know which voice is primary.
