Yo Peter, In fact one example I can think is a piece I hopefully will pick up again in the future. It’s the fourth and final of my Music In the Dark which is a set of four piano pieces based on Chinese poet Li Shangyin’s poem Grand Zither. I did write something on it and I will have the whole final piece in C# minor but never on it, which means that in every cadence there won’t be any i chord,and it will end on a V at the end. For this, Beethoven did delay resolving the tonic in the first movement of his op.101. The tonic chord never appears in a cadence until at the very end. The recording below is again played by lovely Levit: The slow movement in Bee’s op.132 is interesting since he pretends using the Lydian mode but in fact the piece for me is entirely in C major, only at the end he pretends it’s in F Lydian LoL!

Hi @Gabriel Carlisle, I agree with @Aw Ke Shen that a lot can be developed! Like the Largo theme can be more developed before going into Allegro. What is the intention of leaving those slurs for the violin melody in the Largo part? The Cb should be B natural in b.9 and b.25 for piano. For b.20 I feel like the violin cadenza is more like a pianistic passage but maybe I am wrong since I am not quite familiar with violin writing. Thx for sharing! Henry

I think having that silent intro is still apt in setting up the tone for the Largo part. It and can even be an inspiration for the coda ( if you want and/or don't have an idea for it ), making the end and intro tie into, and echo, one other. There's definitely a lot of potential and you should continue developing it!
