2 part counterpoint piece

Hello! Here is an invention like piece I just finished composing, would love to hear some feedback.

ps. I noticed there are parallel fifths between the subject and the counter subject

I hope they are not very noticeable.

I like it!  It's more of an invention rather than a fugue though as I'm sure you already know since the title of the piece is just a play on words/pun.  Is the first note in the piece a mistake?  It seems like it should be an A.  Whenever your motive repeats it always starts with an octave leap except for that very first G# to A which sounds wrong to me.  Great job!

I have the same question as Peter. My only "complaint" or "criticism" here would be regarding dynamics but the piece isn't really demanding much of that in my opinion.

Not very noticeable?! You provided the score, MWAHAHAHAHAHA.

Okno. I don't really find nor hear it troublesome, in this case at least. Do you mean things like the last beat of M16?

Nice short piece overall, hope you keep publishing here mate.

Kind regards,

Thanks ! It is a mistake, hahahahahaha, I don't know why but when reading music my brain loves to see that G note in the bass cleff as A for some reason. Thanks for pointing it out.

Yeah, I mean like those, they are all over, since the very first measure there are parallels in the last beat. I usually trust my ear for these things (and I think it's ok since I made sure the fundamental skeleton of the counterpoint checks out), but I like to hear other peoples informed opinion about it because I don't know any musicians in real life.

Thanks!! I will post more, I really want to participate more in music communities, so far I have been studying music for years without engaging with other musicians. I hope I can contribute with something someday.
