Your Dad is a great player! I love the harmonies and feel of the prelude. However, I feel it is only the start of the track: at the moment it is very much an arpeggiated harmony, without much of a melody. I would love to hear a solo melody line over it, for example with oboe or violin, or an overdub on the piano. This would make the track sing.

In the waltz, which I really love, the accompaniment is much simpler and this makes room for a nice melody in the right hand. That is fantastic, I can imagine a big orchestra arrangement in my head. At some point in the middle, I feel your dad is getting a bit carried away with technique. He is doing some great runs that I can only dream of playing, but for me they don't add much to the emotion of the track. At the start it sounds so nice and romantic, I would stick with that.

In all cases, great music!
