Finally! You posted some of your work. You don't have to worry about composition abilities. I myself have none, and yet I still post my pieces on to YC. It's about the feedback and criticism you get that lets you improve. Hiding in a shell won't help

Anyway, on to the piece. You should already know that I'm not a great theory student, and I only understood about the Italian 6th you used in bar 22 after you showed me the wiki page for it. Thanks for that. If I judge it from using my ears solely, I'd say the italian 6th works effectively. Your playing sounds good too. It's very baroque, which you stated that it's what you intended. The only thing that I think didn't sound as good is the interval of the first note at bar 6th. The compound minor 6th. But then, I'm only using my ears. If I use my eyes I can see that it resolves to something that sounds better, so I guess that's fine.

I agree that the sul tasto didn't show itself in the recording. Well, better luck next time!

Cheers, and nice piece.
