Sonata no. 2 in F minor

I know, it doesn't belong here. I am kind of new to this website and do not know how to delete the post so I will just leave it. Any feedback on the music will be helpful.

I know you like speedy music. And I don't think it's good or bad. But there's a problem here. You write in an absolute classic manner. So, you'll never get rid of  the global idea everybody has about a classic sonata. Haydn, Mozart, even Beethoven and many others wrote these part as allegros. The "problem" is that it's ok you like velocity, but I don't think you can change the general concept of an allegro. I always say there's nothing wrong in music, but we can't avoid having in mind dozens of classic sonatas. If I want to innovate (or find a personal style) I look for other directions.

I think there are many melodic good ideas here.  But some parts sound a bit confusing (the final part), or, for example, the trills are so fast that sound funny. This speed goes agains the eights in the left hand (too percussive).

There is a part I don't see... Measures 47-52. Suddenly the music is dissonant. I love dissonance (in fact the most part of things I do are considered "dissonant" by many people), but in this style... Yes, it's possible to see dissonance in classic music, but there are big clashes that are more appropriate in atonality: in m. 47 Ab in bass and A natural in melody, the same in m. 50.

Anyway, I think you've made great work. And don't get my opinion as nothing, it's just what I think.

Thank you for the feedback. I have no idea why I always, without a doubt, give the music an extremely fast speed.It has always been daunting to start the second movements of these pieces as I have no idea how to approach a slow, more relaxed piece. Perhaps you could give me some tips on how to approach such a type of music. There are many mistakes in my music, as I have never gone for composition tuition or anything which is similar, all you hear in my music is what I have been teaching myself. I did this by listening to classical pieces I considered "nice" and try to hear for things that make it stand out. And then when I have an idea that sounds good, I write a piece. 

Thanks, as always, for your opinion!

You say that you learned by listening to music which you like. Probably the most of these pieces have a fast tempo. I would recommend you to watch videos with the score AND music that have slow tempos.

In addition, I think that one important element in music is "contrast". Even in a movement you always find faster and slower parts. And in a classic sonata almost with no exception you have an allegro, an adagio, and another allegro (or similar). 

You know, the problem is not that this piece is runs fast. The problem, in my opinion, is that you are writing as an allegro, and then you speed up. That's why some parts sound odd. As Maarten said, I would listen (and see the scores) of some classic sonatas. You'll see that the writing is not the same in the allegro than in the rondó.
