Hey @hw1234,

Your harmonic plan for the movement is good, with the first half ends on the dominant G major and the movement ends on tonic C major! You even have your opening material return in the very end! Is this a three movement work or a single movement work? The voice leading and the harmonic progression is also getting better now, I don't many weird chords and abrupt passages now! Good job!

That said, you can still make economically use of your materials! It's still quite short for a multi-movement work! The second movement (b.41)'s harmonic progression is not quite satisfactory as the key is not defined and it ends on a G major chord unestablished previously. If you want to modulate to that key you should add a half cadence before ending on that key!

Thanks for sharing,

Henry

Hi again HW. A bit late but anyway: for future reference, please post at least the mp3s here since people will not need to abandon the site and open a new tab in order to listen.

Various things to comment here:

• Do you think the fact this work was composed in an hour is positive?

• I agree with Henry on the fact that the work is still quite short for a multi-movement work or a sonata even if it's made up of a single movement. I am not even sure if it's multi-movement'ed by the score, I can just suspect it by the music which is good but I encourage engraving it precisely.

• Despite I am aware terraced dynamics were possible by Harpsichords in certain ways, I'm not really sure if they can do fortepianos the usual way one would do in a piano nowadays, nor things like these: .

• Apart from that, I would discourage the use of precise changes in tempo like these . While for machines it indeed makes plenty of sense, it might not be the case for real human performers, which may get a much better sounding and understanding on the piece when using approximate tempo markings accompanied by character words. 

That's all for now.

Kind regards,
Daniel–Ømicrón.
