well done! Im not an expert but I think you have a good ear and can be really proud of yourself.

[Adrian Allan]

Well done. I think you have risen to the challenge and all your hard work has paid off. Your skills will develop as you grow older but this is a very good start. For example I might have introduced the section in the tonic major half way through with some sort of transition passage, but that's just a personal opinion.

[Paul Glover]

Wonderful piece. It captivated my full attention. Then I read your are 16. Wow! Keep it up.

[Jonathan White]

Thank you :) i definitely enjoyed writing this, there's no doubt i'm going to jump right into writing another score!

Thank you Adrian, it has been a very steep hill climbing and working on my skills in writing music. I think i'd count this as my first real foot hold in composing music on a large scale, there is still a lot of work to go but its a start! I agree, i think inserting perhaps a short transition passage in b flat major would help the overall flow of the music
