Hi there pianoman!

You follow the style of a ragtime piece quite well after the introduction - although there wasn't much of your piece posted. It would be good to listen to this being played on a real piano by a pianist instead of the sequenced / quantised version. Also, from a compositional point of view, the introduction was quite weak and I didn't think the chromatic run-down helped (check the intervals you use).

I trust this helps.
