I really liked this, although, I agree with the "wandering around" aspect to it. Kind of around the part where it goes into 3/4 for a bit. Looking at the score, it's kinda like "Wha? Where'd that come from?"
The piano part is very nice, though. I especially loved all the quintuplets. You definitely listen to Rachmaninoff, and the octave triplets in one portion remind me of Shostakovich's 2nd Piano Concerto ... you listen to him, right?
Very good job.
(Oh ... and like the other person: can you play this? Some of the piano part seemed impossible to me, but I haven't sat down and tried it.)
