Cygnusdei, I failed to notice that you were talking about a different measure (measure 19) than I thought you meant (measure 33). At any rate, your comment prompted me to examine measure 19 more closely.
You have splendid ears. Unusual progressions are fine as long as they're stylistic; but
parallel fifths are never acceptable in this style! An error - hidden parallel fifths between soprano and bass from beat 3 to beat 4 - easily fixed. I assume this is what you meant by the half-diminished seventh chord, which no longer exists.
Thanks for your help! This is one of the many reasons I've posted on this forum since day one...I don't make too many errors of this type, but more than once people have helped me find them when I do.
