"(Like a) Walk in the Park" [Alto saxophone accompanied by piano]

Hello everyone!

I'm a new guy here so I thought that I'd introduce myself by posting some of my own work.

This is one of my first "classical" compositions, which is influenced a lot by various early jazz and ragtime players and composers from the classicist era (mostly Mozart and Haydn). Since I haven't been composing for a very long time I encountered certain difficulties trying to figure out the right harmony - and I'm pretty sure that I have made quite a few mistakes - and the right chords. The structure of this piece is simple and straightforward, It is quite similar to traditional rondo form with a couple of twists here and there. It took me a few days to compose it (I think that I spent about 10 hours composing this little piece). I'm not really sure of the style of this piece - I'd perhaps say that this is classical music with a touch of traditional jazz.

Here is the link to the song:

I have also uploaded the score of the song in Sibelius format.

I'm really interested in all kinds of comments - ranging from general impressions to technical stuff. Thank you very much in advance!

By the way, I really hope this is the right section and I'm not doing anything wrong...
