First Post/Classical Demo

Hey all, I'm new to this site and, excited as I am, also nervous (But hey, I'm always nervous). I'd just like to post a little demo of one of my first attempts at classical, transitioning over from the kinds of music I write with my band. Naturally, Bach is my inspiration for it.
It was made as a midi (Guitar Pro), and I am currently at sort of a mind-lock as to where to go from this point. Any criticism (make it honest, that's the only kind that can help), comments, noteworthy observations, ideas, or advice is GREATLY welcomed. The song is short, 51 seconds, but as I said. it's in its baby phase.

Again, any help or advice, etc etc, is welcomed. I am fairly new to Theory, less than a year in study, so I might not understand some advice. Regardless, thanks for listening :)
 
I don't have any knowledge in how to produce music, but I enjoy a wide variety of it, and especially love checking out .org's musical analysis section every now and again. DoctorChaos' incredible contribution to the thread has driven me to comment though, since you really do deserve some genuine feedback.

What mood are you trying to capture with the piece? It seems to me that the main melody should be fairly uplifting and spirited, but the fast-paced notes (I seriously lack the knowledge of musical terms!) seems to clash a little bit with the mood. Perhaps they're a little too loud, since it detracts from the main melody in my opinion.

As a base it seems like a perfectly good start though. I enjoyed the melody, and it could definitely be a catchy tune when it's built on. Just not sure about the faster notes. If you get what I mean :P
