Whilst overall this composition is a moderately convincing baroque pastiche, there are a couple of harmonically inappropriate moments that smudge an otherwise clever illusion. I have identified these as follows:
1) The incorrectly resolved suspension in bars 1-2
2) The incorrectly approached suspension in bars 6-7
3) Leaps after passing notes (eg. bars 1 ,3 etc.). These can be effective in some circumstances, but I feel they are strangely deployed herein.
4) In bars 14-15 the reversion to the tonic seemed slightly contrived,
The last system was great though, and your command of modality is very pleasing. I know you've been taking lessons with our resident early baroque expert, echurchill, and I concur with his belief that this a composition to be proud of. You've definitely learned a great deal since the start of that thread.
P.S. It was great to hear a real performance!
