1. There were a couple times I think your suspensions held even though it resolved? Maybe a clarinet held a concert E while the voice dropped to D# in E minor? Could be wrong. Your modulations are smooth and impactful, I like that. The arc is clear and defined. Very good intro. 2. When you hold the D in the alto (I think?) I get it was supposed to be a lot of suspensions and retardations but it ended up sounding awkward to me. Picardy thirds were used well in this movement, but the movement felt kind of short to have that be super impactful. 3. Your violins might a little bored with that ostinato, but they can suck it up, haha. Here I hear the Mozart a lot more for some reason, despite all the changes. Pedal tone of A in the bass as an interesting choice. I think it pretty much works, even in the augmented 6th chord. V of vi chords were seamless in this one. Great. 4. This one felt a little out of place to me. This one has some passing tone issues, I think. In your tonic chord I hear the perfect 4th in there sometimes. The E-flat major section was quite nice, though. 5. Great! Once it hit its stride, the deceptive cadence section was fine, but initially it felt awkward. 7. Lingering on a chord in this one with not much change was the one that took me out of this one a little bit. The rhythm got more stale this time around as it went along as well, as an addendum to that. 8. Again, I hear the Mozart very heavily in this one, almost like there are quotes from it. Minor seconds in your dominant chords was an interesting change, but it's subtle enough where I think it's okay (also I could be wrong in hearing that). Great, with enough variation to keep the atmosphere of the main motif going through most of the piece. It's nice. Sorry if anything I heard was wrong, and if it is, the general things I say, I'm pretty sure are right, haha. I see the style resemblance very much, and I think you did a good job with that. A lot of great chordal transitions to where it rarely fell flat. Would love to see scores when you can!
