There were some very nice moments the B minor one, I thought!

Sometimes a bit heavy on the dissonance for me, but very lovely overall!

Quite a bit of complexity to fit under the term 'Sonatina', don't you think?

Sonatina usually refers to something playable by a relatively beginner to intermediate student.

Hi, thanks for listening!
I'm glad you enjoyed the music. Sonatina, for me, refers more to the scale of the music rather than the difficulty. ie not too long and limited development. Ravel's Sonatina for instance is by no means an easy piece
best wishes
