if I might add: expression marks go above a staff for single-staff instruments, an either above or between the staves for grand-staff.

also, try to place dynamics and expressive indications AT the note they refer to, and not at the beginning of a measure, nor in a previous measure.

in the piano part, do NOT use the octava treble clef. Write 8ve or 8tva, and a dotted or dashed line indication up to what point there is transposition.

"mute" (con sord.) goes above the staff, and AT the first note of the violin, not two measures earlier.

I don't know if it is a weakness of the programme you are using, but your ties need to be considerably flatter.. they are way too curved.

Pedal indications in a piano part go BELOW the bottom staff of the grand staff.

measure 50, what's the "(4)" for? that can be confusing, it looks like it means "skip to measure 4".

measure 62, the piano chord has ties to the next measure... they are placed wrong.

the staff with measure 69, the time signature changes are placed too far from the barline, and are not even with each staff.

measure 94, tempo change? it goes on the next measure.



as you can see, there is actually a lot to clean up in the score.

In musical criticism, when issues of craft and technical consideration are set aside, what remains is more subjective. However, until technical issues are dealt with, the subjective portion bears considerably less weight.
