I personally didn't enjoy it. That may have been because of the 'recording' quality, I'm not sure. Certainly I'm not one to equate personal tastes with quality. I think you did well imitating Mahler. I also find it odd to imitate the past composers; however, I'm more perturbed by people who write more than one piece in such a style. Certainly, there can be advantages to writing a piece in Mahlerian style, or a Bach Fugue. But to write more than one piece in another composer's style is dangerous and sometimes counterproductive. That doesn't necessarily apply to this piece, just food for thought.
Regarding the actual piece, I think you extracted the essence of Mahler well enough. I think I should reserve any further comments until the piece is performed by actual musicians and given the inflections that would normally happen.
