^music with score

appreciate criticism 

Very mournful and haunting... I liked it a lot! The "bookends" (slow part at beginning and end) were quite tasteful and gave the piece a sense of finality.

One small criticism is that I think the middle section and its reprises (M.20, for instance) are in a waltz, yet the score shows 4/4 time. It might help performers rhythmically if it were notated in 3/4 time.

Overall, great job! Your writing for piano is idiomatic and you clearly know what you're doing. Keep up the great work!

It's nice. I would reevaluate sometimes your voice arrangement for the left hand. Any non-chord tones close to the actual lowest point will often sound a little bland.

Good try!

If I had to mark something is that I think there's metric things to change: the bass seems not fitting on the rythm, like in the bars 16-17. I think the rythm is more complex than it's written and that leaves unclear the way of interpretation, so you could add more expression remarks too. I think there's part were a 7/8 is more on point. Or in Bars 17-18 looks more like there's shifts of 6/8 and 2/8 or 5/8 or 7/8

Maybe I'm wrong, but this is what I can see.
