Hello everyone. 

In the next several days, I will be working on partita for keyboard. I am releasing the minuet movement for feedback first. 

Please review: counterpoint, harmony, melodic material, and form (in depth) for me.

Ok. So you have some nice thematic material. Sometimes, like bars 3 and 7 don't make sense to me that much. Maybe explain that? Bar 2's last beat has a straight-forward transition to a minor. It just feels off. The second section was more favourable to my ears.

@TristanTheTristan Since this a barque dance, a minute , it is AB (binary).  So the A section is tonic (C major) and B section is domiant (G). m3 of the A section, is vi and leads I...this is fine.  Then in measure m7, it is V-I and we repeat the A section.  We don't transition to the minor!
