Not bad ! images/icons/smile.gif

But in my opinion you should try to add variation to your pizzis as they behave the same for the whole piece. It probably makes your piece sounding more repetitive than it is. Varying or sometimes muting the pizzicatos could make your music breath a lot more in my opinion images/icons/smile.gif

But that\'s just my opinion images/icons/smile.gif

Other than that I like this kind of italian or baroque mood or I don\'t know what feeling the violin gives images/icons/smile.gif

There\'s some nice stuff hiding in here that I wish I could hear better!

A simple mix tweak might improve it dramatically - after the pizzi\'s are introduced, drop them way down/back as an almost subliminal texture, and let the strings/woods weave their magic out front.

There is something about this that I like enough to make me bother to write saying that I like it. I agree with Nino and Dnortana though.

Lets hear it again

Hehe.. you got me images/icons/smile.gif
I totally forgot that! I played the pizzicato for one bar and then copied it, switched notes to fit other chords and multiplied it for the other instruments. I really should play the whole piece by hand and as you rightfully said, ad more variation. That variation will probably ad more expression for the violins and the other strings.

Thanks for the comment! Higly appriciated!

By the way, I really am the same Kunio, but I forgot my !@%^&$ password!
