I do not have a lot of things to say, except that it all feels very homogeneous. Granted I'm listening to a MIDI, and that can certainly make everything sound the same, but harmonically, all three movements sort of mesh together in my mind. Also, because there are three fast movements, it sort of blurs it even more. I know there doesn't HAVE to be a slow movement, but it helps to keep everything distinguishable.

I like:
When there are hidden melodies in the LH
When the harmonies take less predictable turns
When the pedal tones are used tastefully

However, i think that sometimes the left hand drones can become a little cumbersome.

One suggestions i would make is that it is great to incorporate motifs throughout your pieces. For instance, in movement I, there is a set of two half-steps that makes up a good motif that would be cool to use in less predictable places, as in hidden in different places in other harmonies, etc.

Overall, I would be proud to have written it! But I would not be surprised if whoever has to learn it sneaks into your house and stabs you for some of those jumps! (jk)
