My first composition - a piano waltz. Thoughts on the engraving, form, and overall coherence?

Music

Hello,

I'm an amateur interested in all aspects of music, recently I've been trying my hand at composition. After scrapping a bunch of drafts I've tried to go for something simple and relatively short. My main goals are coherence and clear form (AB).

~3 minutes; score in PDF and Musescore linked below.

What I'd most like feedback on:

  • Engraving: I've been really careful to make it right - happy to hear what can be improved, especially the 6/8 section looks a little bit ugly
  • Overall coherence and form
  • Specifics - some posts on this sub receive wonderfully specific feedback like 'replace G with B in the LH in m. 4 to improve voice leading' - this kind of input is also greatly appreciated

Thank you!
