Thanks for taking the time to listen and for the feedback! I think you made some fair points that I'll definitely keep in mind for future pieces. Since this was my first attempt at writing in a larger form, I tried to keep things relatively simple while I focused on the structure. Might write a second movement for it eventually. Thanks again for valuable feedback @TristanTheTristan

Hello again, I decided to spend some time today to give more specific feedback. In this PDF are some annotations for you: H. Zheng - Dawn and Nightfall [ANNOTATED].pdf

Hello MinGry! I see that you have written a nice little piece, that i wouldn't describe as a sonatine. This is because a sonatine is Usually multi-movements Not ternary form, but instead Sonata-Allegro form, which has three distinct themes in the exposition, which goes from I-V (usually and you did that well) and also usually repeats. Then comes the development and reprise which you did well. You have a nice first theme, that actually seems to plain. The whole piece is basically just a mezzo-piano. You might have been able to develop the textures better by using more dynamics, and using more staccato maybe. You could have also had more layers of complexity. Good job on exploring a new style as a composer! Keep improving! Tristanthetristan

Hello everyone! I come to you with my first piece produced on my new Acer laptop that runs Musescore smoothly! I have taken the opportunity (before I always had a school chromebook so I couldn't do this) to download Cakewalk Sonar DAW which allows me to open all my old .wrk project files from back when I was using Cakewalk Home Studio over a decade ago. So, if you can't tell by the title, this is one of my juvenilia that I dug up from way back when I used to compose into the sequencer. Back from around 2008. I intended it to be a mix of styles between classical and jazz, hence the corny title 🤣. I use blues scales, extended harmony, altered chords and polychords - all in a way that is intended to be "classically jazzy". I hope you enjoy this piano trio and let me know what you think!

Wow ty for the critique. Yeah I should definitely look into the silencing part.
