February 7, 20224 yr This is great! The only comment I have about it is that it seems to be in 3/4 rather than 6/8. The rhythmic identity of your motive is in duple rather than triple time. It starts on beat 3 (beat 2 in 3/4) which is an off-beat in 6/8 (and given the slurry of consecutive 16th notes doesn't sound like a pick-up but instead accents that beat). If you look at the whole rest of the sinfonia, there are many places that put an emphasis on beats that are off-beats in 6/8 but on the beat in 3/4 which contribute to this feeling. Great job though. The motive is long and has it's own characteristic identity that's memorable. Thanks for sharing!

Lol basically I myself was too lazy about contemplating about the rythm and I was like: well too many notes in one bar? Let that be 6/8. I forgot to pay attention to the accents.
February 19, 20224 yr I agree with Peter; feels like it's in 3/4. I like the harmonic shifts in bars 12 - 20.

It's light and uses mostly free counterpoint. Hence I thought considering it a 3 voiced invention (that is, 'Sinfonia') would be more apt. Thanks for listening
