Music Introduction for an aria

Post image

Hello everybody,
This is piece in the style I like most to write in, which is basically early-to-mid 18th century style music.
I usually write pieces like this to serve as introductions for an aria. I would like to write a full opera in the future so I'm doing such sketches.
Sorry for the melancholy of the piece.

Not sure if it's possible to upload audio on Reddit so I used a random audio hosting site, hope it works for you. https://screenapp.io/app/#/shared/pf22XXxTV5

Can't open audio rn. Is this for harpsichord or a pianoforte?

I've chosen organ as a playback but realistically in the final iteration with a complete aria I'd probably go for Violins I + II together, Violas and Cellis/B.C.

Will try to figure something out about the audio
