That is a very enjoyable. I 100% agree with Mr. Graham. The bass lines are extremely, extremely, extremely out of whack. If it was meant to be baroque, you defied almost every rule, but for a modern-ish harpsichord concerto, you captured the feeling well, but then again I wasn't sure what you were after. The melody is quite nice, but, quite frankly, it is ruined by your harmony. Melody with bad harmony is just...something nice with something not so much. it's like...hmm...well it's like if somebody tried to cover up a bad smell with a good one...it ends up smelling worse...that's kind of the same thing with melody/harmony.
The Solo around 2:30-2:50 is rather...unnecessary. You really do need accompaniment in more places then you have. As soon as you hit the 3 minute mark it is almost all unaccompanied harpsichord...that is not what concerti are about. You can call it "Harpsichord Piece with orchestra in some spots" if that's what you intend.
Don't get me wrong, it has the potential to be a great piece, and I believe in your talent. I think you should start, or rather, try a smaller piece...I'm sure it will turn out great. String quartets are great harmonic practice as well.
^_^ Have a glorious day,
