Ok I listened to them all. The Fourth stood out the most because I liked it's melodies the best but the polyphony didn't quite work. I love Josquin from the renaissance and almost all of his music is polyphonic but for some reason the polyphony from your fourth one grew boring to fast. Then when you got to the more homophonic parts it grew more interesting. Throughout all of them it seemed a little repetitive. I know most waltzs are like that but in some way great composers seem to transcend the repetitiveness. I think it was that seprate phrases were to similar but I can't be sure without the scores.
