Crashing Piano Prelude (F minor)

This was a piece I composed about a month ago. I had been reading about 'weird' time signatures at the time, so I wrote this. I definitely didn't explore it very deeply, but it was a short fun piece.

The music* can be heard here:
YouTube - Crashing Piano (Piano Piece in f minor)

The sheets* are here:

*There is a discrepancy between the video and the sheet music. I posted the video almost immediately after I wrote it (I'm not one for going back over compositions...but that is a fault I am trying to work on). So when I noticed that the chords weren't playable on one hand, I revised it. So the sheets are the revised version.
And sorry about the image format. I couldn't figure out how to make a pdf.

Hey. I like it. The harmonic progression was a bit tedious, but I think it was more of the fact that the nagging 'F' note made me peak insanity...however, this is just a personal taste, not a musical incorrection.

Other than that, it is a good piece.

For making .PDFs - Converting Notation into PDF (.mus, .sib to .pdf)

I could actually have gone for an extra repeat from 24 or 25 to the end again, maybe with different dynamics for contrast. I was actually rather disappointed that you kept with the repeated F the whole time and didn't switch it up any. It's a little dry and a bit of an unrewarding listen since the drive of the piece are those repeated notes and they don't really go anywhere themselves.

I liked the writing in 5/8, but it was a little hard to follow (listening to the recording), you might want to add some of the natural accents into the playback so that the listener can actually feel the irregular pulse. With that in tow, it'd sound even better. I like it, it's just a bit static.

By the way, it's safe for the first four measures to take those notes that the left hand couldn't play and put them in the right hand. I like the intro of the piece with those notes above as you originally wrote them, not inside the left hand notes like you have in the revised score.
