Aug 28, 2020 at 14:03 comment added EdB123 Hi Peter. yes, The half cadence suggestion was as a result of my initial analysis, and the most recent analysis does not involve any sort of cadence. I cannot really see how any cadence would fit here, I don't know if you have any suggestions?? thanks!
Aug 28, 2020 at 10:58 comment added Peter Yes, I agree. My only concern now is that you described the ending as a half-cadence (which I learned as an imperfect cadence), and I don't think the end of this bar is a cadence of any sort. Probably I misunderstood. Btw if you are keeping 2 parts, you have some opportunities arising from the ambiguity between C sharp major and minor, then F sharp minor or A, and so on. Your bar reminded me of the Gigue from Bach's 5th French Suite, which has some nice 2 part sections as well as 3 part bits.
Aug 27, 2020 at 17:42 comment added EdB123 Hi there, thanks for your help! Taken your advice on the cadential 6/4. regarding the A in the left hand, i had that down as a passing note as I thought the whole thing was V7 (in fsharp minor) after the cadential 6/4, but looking at it again this cannot be the case down to the leap at the very end of the top part between the B natural and the D. So, this is my new analysis (starting from the cadential 6/4). Csharp (i64)-Gsharp7 (Va)-Csharp7 (down a fifth), Fsharpm (first inversion), Gsharphalf dim (ii in F sharp m). Would like to hear your thoughts if possible! Thanks, Ed
