I'm learning simple things as I've been going along, any suggestions, or is this too short to go off of? I'm really interested in music but haven't gotten a great place to learn, everything simple to complex is greatly appreciated.

Interesting chords in the beginning... starting off with im7 and VIM7M9 was a bold choice, and I think it came out pretty well. The chord after THAT though, was harsh... IIIP11. The resolution note you put after it, the tonic A-flat, was not a correct resolution and doesn't have that same emotional impact I think you were going for. Simply having the melody line on the third would have been better. The impressionistic section after was incredibly interesting especially with the pedal D, which I commend you on not making it sound too out of place... just dissonant enough! The choral section following was phrased really strangely, and kind of brought out the worst of the original section. When the two were blended together then two chord you threw in used the 11th again which is awkward when paired with the major third. General rule for you. A lot of this piece continued in a similar matter. The slower section after, reusing the pedal D was again, dissonant, but in a really great way. Making use of the tritone chords or open fourth chords was an interesting choice to end the piece. Glad to hear an ending this time too! :)

Well I don't have much to add but I really enjoyed listening to this!

overall this is a pretty good piece. I like your use of trills and the staccatos at the end. However, in some places it seems kind of as if you were typing random notes into a notation editor. Maybe mix up the rhythm a little? Most pieces of music start with a pattern, and as the piece goes on they adjust and modify the main melody or theme. I sense very little pattern in this piece, except for the note values and articulations. Play around with the melody a little more and make some adjustments, and I think this could end up being a very nice piece.
