Aria in Cm (oboe, strings & continuo)

Hi, here my new baroque piece. I dedicated some time to write down all the ornamentation for the solo oboe part, though I'm not sure if it would have been written like that on the period, or if it was the player who freely chose the appropiate embellishments. Anyway I had to write it down on my notation program if I wanted it to be played like that, so here it is. 

Let me know your opinion.

😄😄😄 Great pice!!!! I love the oboe part and its ornamentations.

Beautiful. But this piece would improve with some countermelody (counterpoint). Baroque is counterpoint! It is weakly present in some spots performed by the continuo. But countermelodies should take place in the instruments.

I think for the most part, this is great, I would love to see a more active bass line, bass lines doesn't have to be a harmony part. A good example is the circle of 5th section, Bach does it best, so here is an example from the Brandenburg Concerto 2. skip to 1:50 for the circle of 5ths, or listen to whole thing 🙂

I'm also not sure how I feel about the minor V chord in measure 13 and where it repeats again.

Thanks Hendrik, Luís and Suchatcom!

It seems I have to work more on counterpoint 😅
