Memories of the Sea is nostalgic, atmospheric and dramatic.
 
There are echoes of sea shanties to be heard in the melody, while the crashing of waves can be heard in the powerful left hand chords.  The time signature change from 3/4 to 6/8 creates a change in flow as a storm begins to build, but then suddenly the drama dissipates and we’re back to a more peaceful nostalgic feel at the end.

Focus: chord placement, balance, maintaining a consistent speed
