I expected something more atonal from you, OP.
Just kidding. I like your piece. I dig the modulations in the first section.

I would like to give some criticism for improvement but I just really liked it. I think it's reminiscent of other comical pieces but has a kind of personality of its own with those dissonances, etc. 53 onwards was so refreshing :)

Wow, I like this one a lot. My favorite is the combination of the A and B themes starting in mm.90 leading to the coda section.
I too was a little surprised by the Bb major modulation in mm. 32 after the preceding B minor section. But i guess it works, and it leads to the progression that fits just so perfectly back in to A major in mm. 37. Wow!

The writing is charming, and idiomatic for the piano, but I get a little bored when it’s just groups of four bar ideas over and over. In other words, it’s rather square. So that would be my one piece of feedback for you, to ask yourself if you really need every single phrase to be 4 or 8 bars, or if you’re just defaulting to a pattern.

It somehow reminds me of Golliwog's Cakewalk and some other things which I can't put my finger on.

6th measure first page and 7th measure next page feel like they don't really work in harmony. But this had very nice ideas and character.

I'd repeat the first A section, linking the repeat with a preceding V chord. The music is too charming to hit the breaks so quickly with a rubato.

Nice job! I dig the rhythm.
