Bagatelle 37 and 38

Here are a couple score I recently composed I was trying expand my ideas. not sure if the tempo is to fast on either.

Enjoy!

I think this is a great step up from your piano concerto: the music flows much better and provides some interesting thematic ideas (not to mention chord progressions, how fun!), although I would've loved to hear more from both pieces. The fast parts are pretty fun to listen to and are almost Mozartian in terms of earwormish-ness (esp. in your 37th bagatelle), with plenty of fun mordents and surprisingly polyrhythms. 

I will say, however, that the thematic progression in your 38th bagatelle does sound a little unstructured: I suppose the brevity of the pieces contributed to that feeling somewhat. I think it's best you get comfortable writing in this medium first before adventuring into duets or maybe even quartets and so on: you're clearly capable of delivering interesting content in your music, and you don't always need an orchestra to do that 😉

All the best with your composing, keep it up! Would love to hear from you again.

#37. I find many ideas, but still the piano is not very "idiomatic". It relies a lot on chord notes resulting in arpeggios = accords.  The passing notes need to be explored.
And, especially, if you are interested in writing for piano, read and listen to sheet music in the style that suits you best and copy....
 

#38.  There are some interesting chromatic games. A word of advice: totally forget the alberti bass!
