  1. Solid piece! You spent some time making the score look good! I like it! Some peculiarities: m.17-19, I'm not understanding the reason to the dotted barlines other than to show the theme. It's a bit confusing and would be best left as a 2/4 meter. I'd also hide those grace note rests (press "H" in Finale while highlighting note/rest to hide). As for the beginning, I was really wanting the LH to continue with the quarter note pattern as it just hits a brick wall on beat 3 each measure until m.5. Also in m.5 you write "sempre." Sempre...what? (Sempre="always") I assume you mean the dynamics but I cannot be sure. Go ahead and put the dynamics back in from m.5-8 just to be clear in your notation. M.45, A-natural instead of Bbb. M.46, sop. last note, B-natural instead of Cb. You do this a few more times, if you find yourself writing strange accidentals, double check your spelling. You're in Cm and a bI is not a thing lol! Lastly, double check your accidentals! You're theme is correctly notated with an F#, yet there's points where it is a Gb (m.71). A really fun piece!
  2. Some house cleaning: dynamic and tempo at the beginning? m.4 bass, I wouldn't notate it as dotted 8ths as you need to show the rhythmic beaming of the meter. At m.4 you are clearly in a 6/8 meter (by the sounds of it), and would mark it as such - - this incremental metronome marking is best suited for movie scoring. Also at the beginning I'm hearing this more in 2/4 rather than 3/4 (but could be due to the playback). All in all it's promising and my condolences over the loss of your uncle.
  3. Interesting ideas in there! Your meters are a bit unconventional. For example, 16/16 = 4/4 and you group it in conventional groups of 4 beats, so I'd notate it in 4/4. A good rule-of-thumb is "if it can be written conventionally, write it conventionally." It makes reading and performing easier. Another general overall comment is double-check your spellings. For example, m.19 sop. voice you have an F#, then the next beat alto voice has a Gb. You can say "oh that's because mode xyz and blah blah" however a pianist playing this will want to strangle you. So yeah, just keep those spellings consistent. The comment above goes on about the large chords in m.17, and generally I agree. Yet, you will find this notation in Alkan, Tausig, but Liszt generally rolls chords which span a 10th or more so it's important to keep hand span in mind. Cool piece
