My first complete compositional sketch! I wanted to expand this out to a full sonata-form piece, but I've already let this distract me too much. I think I'll be better off banging my head against something else for a while.

As new as I am to composition, I think it's my piano technique that leaves more to be desired, but hopefully that'll improve, too. Also, please pardon the poor audio quality, I'm doing what I can with the tools I have. Nonetheless, any suggestions are welcome!

Are you sentimental about anything? What good or bad things do you think come from being sentimental?
