G'day BE,
I've listened to the first movement and I think you've done a fine job with it. As another poster has mentioned, there is nothing awkward or harmonically offensive (or generally speaking, musically offensive). The opening Adagio and Allegro is really pleasure to listen to - up to a point.
However, as with many other baroque pieces, I tend to tire of the reliance on alot(some is good) of straight bar by bar(or strong/strong, weak/weak beat) sequencing and lack of rhythmic(in melody and harmony placement) interest. Around 3½ minutes I'm getting bored.
Overall, I think you've done a fine job emulating the period and nothing about it (to my ears) makes it less than many other lauded works from this time.
Although I enjoy Baroque music alot, there is much by great composers that, while enjoyable, is tiring (to me) for the reasons stated above. This is why my tastes run more to classical/Romantic music.
