Lol.

Wow, there were some really pleasing moments in this. I disagree that you are not talented, you obviously have a very imaginitive ear, and admirable self-control to stick to your own agenda of self-improvement. The melodies are especially pleasing (especially the one from b.43), and yes, you've certainly departed from I-IV-V - your harmonic ideas and imagination are really interesting and engaging. I love the counterplay between the violin and piano RH, it's very pleasing. The waltzy motif in the LH is stylistic but occasionally gets a bit monotonous - though the interesting chords goes some way to redeem this, like in the final four bars - such that when b.26 comes, there's a tangible sense of relief, lol. (For me anyway). Perhaps a bit more variation of this sort would retain interest more - especially between the two main themes?

But overall I though this was lovely, well done.

(PS. are you sure you can't put it in .pdf? If it's your .pdf writer try CutePDF. They are meant to be able to convert any printable document. Forgive me if you know this already, but there isn't any 'exporting' involved, you just tell it to print and select your .pdf writer from the list of printers).
