listened to your Dolcia! wonderful! absolutely delicious. loved at all the way you used simple arpeggios and scales to create a sweet and resounding harmony in long and very flowing phrases. impressive work! just a single thing: the ending could be worked a little more, with a more impactant effect. for me it is just too simple to end a so charming piece. a better coda would turn this into a great piece indeed.

the Aubade is very intersting too. very dynamic and witty wrtitting, with delightful, intersting and effective harmony. loved the rococco atmosphere. here and there it seems to loose its focus and wanders about, but only slightly, the main current soon recovers its way, not too important though.

the first sonata for harpsichord is fine, has a lovely delicacy. its ending is surprising and very well conceived. the second one is better IMO, it is more sensitive and richer in feeling, although its harmonization is more uncertain and less coherent than the first one. in its overall is quite fine, but i think that it would deserve a little reworking in order to afford more independency and variety for the left hand. maybe a little of counterpoint or echo-effects could be useful in this way.

the Quartetta for basson is fine and intersting. great idea of joining these instruments, creating an original texture. the piece is a unifyied whole with faultless harmony, lovely melodies, delightful sober atmosphere and great and rich sonority. good handling of dialogue effects too. seems like a renaissance dance. cool!

congrats! keep up composing!
