robbie vs piece #2

In Thursday's class I presented my 2nd piece for the first time. I played it at the concert on the saturday before, but I wanted to get some feedback from it and I didn't exactly play it the way I had it written.. whoops!
The main few areas of the piece include:
the opening, which is very open and spaced out
the middle section, which is quite constant moving in the left hand with the right hand being very simplified
the final section, which contains the main melody of the piece

A couple tweaks that I have so far made to it are:
The first section could definitely be more exact with its spacing. I'm going to try and give a specific length to my empty passages rather than leave it up to the performer.
After Kate mentioned there being a lot of B double flats throughout the piece, I decided to reevaluate the key signature in which I realized that instead of Db flat major (C# major), the piece would contain far less accidentals in E major.
I originally wanted to elaborate on the final melody in my final piece, but I have been working on lengthening this section instead.
The middle section almost seems like it could stand alone as another piece, so I might incorporate this idea in to my final piece.
