This is awesome! The voicing is done very well and I loved the way you developed the motif. GREAT use of dynamics/articulations as well!!

A jaunty, fast paced sonata. This doesn’t really feel like something a beginner would make (and I mean that as a complement), afaik; piano compositions like this rely on music theory alone to support it, so I assume you acquired some knowledge beforehand.

While I like how you tried to incorporate it, I could only hear bits and pieces of the motif. Maybe it’s not obvious enough, or it’s just me idk

And one more thing, the loop feels jarring. If there was maybe a bit more connection to the start and the end?

Nevertheless, good submission!

Yeaaaahhh see you get it, nice little goofy vibes on this, feels like it could fit verrry well in a gen 1 Pokémon game. Love it, especially when you trail off from the main structure and bring in those interesting chord voicings. Very nice!
