The work has a "Satie" feel ... I am not sure if you would call it impressionistic.

I enjoyed the meandering, flowing character of this piece. You've gone for some interesting intervals and modulations, as on the second page which I enjoyed.

The contrasting middle section was also a good way to break up the texture in the piece, as well!

As it relates to engraving, I am not sure what program you're using (so I don't know if it's difficult to make certain changes) - but I might consider including a brace, which would be a more familiar sight for piano music. Shifting your margins toward the left a bit more (so that they are more evenly spaced, though with enough of a buffer for potential page turns) would also be a consideration. 

Another suggestion might be to space out some of the systems (like bb. 41-45, 46-50). That would add to the visual comfort and clarity of the score!

I think in general you've been clear throughout with what you've written; a situation like in bb. 64-65, I would say that you could do with just one hairpin.

Overall, I think you did a great job!

Thank you for the listen ... I'll attend to the engraving!  Thanks for the suggestions.
