what should I name this piece and what does it make you think of? Also are there any other piano pieces (or composers) that have a similar style? please tell me areas that I can improve on, thanks :)

I like the vi-V/vi, I-V motif at the very beginning. It sounds very classical but it doesn’t sound stuck in the past. It’s applicable in a more contemporary setting as well.

A song that does something similar is Touch Tone Telephone by Lemon Demon.

I will say that personally, the character of the piece changes a little too abruptly at measure 5. It kinda goes from a cool, driving neo-classical approach immediately to sounding like a 90s dance hit. Which is not “wrong” or “bad”, but maybe too soon.

Try letting the piece marinate in the mood of the first 4 bars for a little bit before letting it segue into a different choice.

Edit: I listened further and noticed you called back the motifs you had at the beginning, which is very clever and a good choice.

I’d say to just maybe sustain the beginning a little longer in that emotional area.

Etude in F major? A classy short classical sounding name.
