The two sections are both lovely. The opening with the emphasis on piano has a very nice progression and melody. I'm glad you were not averse to repeating. That's where the power is. The second one is, of course, more fleshed out orchestrally. My nit is that the levels between the two are too far apart. When the second part hits, it's quite a jarring change. Once I settled back in, however, it finished nicely, though the ending suffers a bit from the same problem, to my ears...a too sudden drop in volume that seems out of character.
