After a few years I have tidied up this piece, even if it is short, among those that I have written

it seems to me the most linear and compact one, except that as soon as I finished rewriting it, an additional part came to mind

to add, I will see if it will be worth doing or not.

the piece seems well-executed to me; perhaps the central part with the progressions is not very incisive, but overall the result seems excellent to me, well-worked and very pleasant to listen to.

the perplexity remains, however, regarding the sense of writing pieces that are so markedly baroque, but ultimately these are your own business ...

Thank you for the comment.

I write this way because I like it, and if I still can't manage to write things like this (more compact and well-made), there isn't much sense in trying to write things in a different style; but I also think what you are saying, I know that today in theory it doesn't make much sense to do so, but I like trying because it is usually said that it is easy (not in this case, I mean in general) to do things that have already been heard, but it's not certain that the final result will be as one would want; besides this, melodic lines come to mind (when this happens) and I write them down quickly, then I pick them up and structure the pieces that way, taking advantage of the fact that they are linear melodies, and if I don't venture beyond that, it is because I also feel a need for simplicity in all the chaos I live through.

Perhaps today I will already post the link to a piece I wrote a little while ago, very different from this one (longer, with a part almost at the end of which I am not very proud, anyway a completely different attempt), you will hear a different way of making music there, more convoluted.

I agree except for this:

AleGozzo wrote:

...progressions are the basis of Baroque language, so if he has chosen that path, one must also accept the progressions

What do you do, tell Handel that he is not very incisive because he uses progressions? ...clearly, Piccinesco is not exactly comparable to H., but all this to say that there are elements of a certain language that cannot be abandoned.

And we're talking about just a single progression, not even intended as such, I only wanted to imitate a certain part.
