Arrowheads ^ indicate strums. See m1. It's worth re-drawing the ^ arrowhead
right at the top of the associated stem.
Take a moment to fill out the 16th-note beams.
Explanation of symbols:
" = trill, generally starting on upper neighbor. On 8th and dotted 8th
notes, consider a shorter, 3-note figure - main note to upper neighbor
and back to the main note.
, = mordent, main note to lower neighbor and back to the main note.
# = vibrato.
Suggested simplifications (if need be):
M45 M15

the texture, consider adding the octave above the bass. For example, see:
