So I only have a few measures of a first movement but I hope to expand this into a full 4 movement string quartet. Thing is, I find it hard to get the combination of being in sonata form and still being interesting when it gets past duets into trios and quartets. I know it should be easier because I have more freedom with a string quartet than with a piano sonata but no, I have always found piano sonatas easier to compose.Here is my first draft. You can see that I go from a Tutti to the cello playing solo which really brings out the warm sound of the cello. I plan on having the other instruments come back one by one until I reach Tutti again. So here is the link:https://musescore.com/user/50070/scores/5453458

So I wrote a short piece for string sextet with a canonical theme. I usually don't write for string ensemble, so let me know what you think. https://musescore.com/user/1260016/scores/5446675Thanks!
