First theme

I've started with the main (A) theme - I came up with a simple, two-part motif:



I wanted a group of different pitches, with no obvious relation to any particular key center. (Also, these six notes could eventually be expanded into a complete twelve-tone row)

I'm now trying to write some different variations of this theme - since it will be played no less than 13 times... Here are a few examples:



When I'm done with the A parts, I will then work on the different B sections, the C sections, etc. At this point, I'm not thinking so much about which variation goes where; that will be decided later on.
