Women and the Chopin Competition: Breaking Barriers in Classical Music

Hi. A nice flow of ideas. There are contrasting sections, juxtaposed,  which work well.
You might considering writing it out, and perhaps lightly editing here and there.
There can be much gained from doing this, especially as your choices may become more refined.
Also, if you do this, some of the messier sections can be practiced, which would then give a more convincing recording.
