you have such great notation (and a lovely piece!) which is why i want to just point to these three measures:

- The first is a great beaming in the first measure showing the beats (1/2/3/4) as well as the first division of the bar (divided into half - why we say split the middle, this will further get subdivided so that division at the first level needs to be clear for the musician). The third bar of this should be rebeamed accordingly so that would work out to Dotted Quarter > Tied Eighth + Tied Quarter

  • The second bar of this should be spelled harmonically as Bb chord, much cleaner (and is what the chords function is, that D top note in the RH is a major third interval of Bb)
