This is my first composition, so it isn't anything special (in my opinion). All comments and criticisms are welcome. If the link doesn't work, please tell me and I'll try and fix it.

Not score at the moment, sorry. I actually did this on GarageBand, as I don't have anything like Sibelius. Enjoy (hopefully).

Well for a first composition I'd say Bravo...good start. I love waltzs and minors too. I am correct that this was a computer playing the piece?

Thank you for the complements. Yes, I notated it in GarageBand and sent to iTunes from there. Because GarageBand is very limited in this area, I actually had to write out the trills and there is another ornament I wanted to add but couldn't (this is partially why I didn't show the score). I'm glad you liked it smile. The quotes in my signiture? Yes I like them too. Shame it has a word limit else I'd write more smile

it definitely does sound vaguely like Chopin. But your style is also heard in it. Very good composition in my opinion

I'd like to hear it but the link asks me to "download" it and I usually don't like to do that.......
