Great piece. I really enjoyed the sequences and chord changes throughout... Question: What did you use to score the piece? My only qualm would be with the score. Many of the accidentals and some 16th notes are squeezed in too tightly and the music is kind of hard to read. Try to fit the measures for better visibility for sight-reading and playing purposes. Other than that, cheers on the piece. Good work!

Wow!! Nice work!!! JFmayii is right though. Please space out the score a little bit more. Is this going to be published?

I enjoyed it from beginning to end :).

One question though, did you try inversion or diminution?

Since your theme sounded like it would work great in both of those, it would fit in stretto with the original theme right?

I don't have a great ear for it, just curious.

hm... I thought it was not so okay.

Besides I dislike the baroque sound (but that's a matter of taste) I wondered why you have only a theme of one measure and a intermezzo (ms 3 and 4) twice its size. I'm sure the great masters did the same, but I felt it was not in balance here. I think because the intermezzo does not make use of the theme presented in measre 1, bt is just a sequence...

Second thing that struck me as odd, was the huge jump in soprano and alto in measure 6. I guess you wanted to reach a high G in ms 7. Okay, but I dont get why you get there this way... I once learned a common practice rule that the distance of inner voices can not be more than an octave...

Thanks ppl :)
