Piano Sonata in A minor

After a bit of a dry sepll, I finally finished this piano sonata which is intended to be in the Mozart/early Beethoven style (I'm a big fan of Beethoven's early sonatas).  I had finished the first and third movements awhile ago and only recently finished a version of the second movement which I am still unsure about but welcome any impressions.

I think it is a very enjoyable, balanced and well-written piece of work.
The piano sounds good and the dynamics respond quite well.
I liked the Allegro very much, it's lively, always interesting (I even didn't dislike the repetition of the first part, which often bores me.
In the second part, the initial part is great, a bit “Bellinian” for the length of its phrases. The following part begins more unstable and takes on darker tints, a good contrast. The part from bar 35 surprises by its march-like character, which leaves a super-mozartian melody in bar 45.

The final part also has memorable sequences and a satisfying closing character.

I see that the movements are written quite some time apart. Nevertheless, the work seems very coherent to me, which I always like. Although it is not my preferred style, I enjoyed listening to it very much. Thank you.
