3 little dances for piano solo

Hello you all,
Some time ago *about a year* I composed 3 little dances for piano solo. They were written to help a piano student of mine, he had to perform on an exam and wanted a piece that he was sure the teacher wouldn't know. Well, the most sure way to be certain is to write some things yourself then. He only performed the first one, the village dance, which is also the easiest of the set. I conceived them however as a small set to be played together, giving the impression of a 3 movement work with a fast-slow-fast scheme. I was inspired a bit *outwardly only* by the piano music of bartok, especially his collection called "for children".
Enjoy ^^.
p.s
The order to be performed would be : Village dance, Mourning dance and Jumping dance as a finale...somehow this mp3 player works alphabetically and starts out with the jumping dance...which is wrong.

Very nice. I especially enjoyed the village dance.
Personally, I think they are nice small pieces and with out doubt pleasant to listen to. I'm not sure it would necessarily fall under the category of Romanticism though, because the harmonies and rhythms are very conservative, and classical feeling. I think stylistically, I enjoyed the jumping song. The movement in the left hand did give me the impression of "jumping" motion, however I think it'd be more characteristic to make the notes staccato and in a quicker tempo. I think the separation of staccato will add additional flavor as well as make the piece appear more diverse from the other two pieces in the set. I thought your mourning dance was pretty good actually, I think it's fine the way it is. I think if you ever consider adding more flavor to make it romantic, I would suggest you use extended harmonies and the use of more chromatic non-chord tones. Overall though, I think it's a nice set. Well done.
I usually place a number before the piece's title in a multi-movement work, hoping to avoid any mistakes in the order of the movements.
As for the pieces themselves, I find them entertaining and very accessible at the same time. I concur with Gamma's suggestions about the staccato notes in the Jumping Dance, and I would even add here and there a very accented and brief chord to suggest a bigger "jump". The Mourning Dance was rather thoughtful, although I felt it as a variation on the Jumping Dance's theme (or, given the order of a correct performance, the other way round). Furthermore, I believe it was the best of the set. I enjoyed the Village Dance too, as an easy-going, peaceful work without needless complexity - a very telling review of a village's life.
Thanks for sharing, and I hope you're able to fix the order

This is a nice set of little dances; I personally like the "mourning dance" by far most due to its melancholic touch and deep emotions. Thanks for sharing
Hi,
I loved these three beautiful executed movements... How lovely you compose!
