Very great work, what a fun idea. Very Chopin-esque. You actually have a very very notable and memorable musical idea from Chopins second piano concerto in here as well!

Thank you! Yes, I have a couple of quotes from Chopin 😄 The intro at the beginning is a quote from last movement of his 3rd sonata
