Hi! this is invention for two instruments. The first voice melody is nice, but second voice could be better.  It sounds now confusing.

Hello @semotivo,

I think the counterpoint suffers from parallel octave sometimes, for example b.3, 5-6, 10, 18 and other places, or a parallel 5th in b.11-12, and these will weaken the independence of the counterpoint in your invention especially a two part one. The voice leading is sometimes not fluent enough, for example in b.17-18. It sounds indeed confusing to me sometimes.

Thx for sharing!

I don't think you are ready for invention writing. The ideas and harmonic decisions here are unusual and not consistent with the music context from which 'inventions' are derived. Keep trying
