A little Suite for left hand piano, 1st movement

Hello,
This is my first time writing for left hand piano. The length is supposed to be this short, lol.

What do you think? Techniqly, is it playable? And musically, does it make sense, ie, would you you want to perform it?

this is just the first movement.

That was fast.

Anyway. Definitely technically playable. Regarding the pedal markings (incomplete; I assume you want all of them to terminate after a minim like the first two?), be aware that the effect the current pedaling will have is to blur and muddify everything quite a lot. If that's a deliberate effect, okay. Musically... I heard you, but I have to say it: It is very short. But you knew that. Looking forward to the continuation.

You should even feel free to make it harder! As long as you don't need to play more than five notes at a time (unless it involves seconds on white or black keys that you can play with the thumb alone) and as long as the notes you have to play at once aren't too far away from each other, you can do quite a lot with a single hand. Don't be afraid of even using polyphony, or simple melody-accompaniment structures.

There's nothing wrong with keeping it simple of course! I'm just saying it so you don't have to feel restrained too much.
