Composing for piano and chamber works will help to refine your writing, and you can use it to iron out technical issues. Your counterpoint is really sloppy, and it's especially blatant in this common practice tonality context. Especially in the Meno Mosso, I mean you can have "dissonance" in your tonal counterpoint if you want this color, but seeing as you don't use that sort of language in any of the piece, it just sounds wrong. Also, I hope you do realize how incredibly hard this would be to play, in case you're looking to get this performed. Sit down with a pianist ask them about it, the piano is a hard instrument to write for.

I found it hard to compress my ideas onto piano music, but I did it anyway.

And why do you think that is?
