cellos
I listened to your midi version and looked atthe score. I thought that if you had to divide one section it would have been better to divide the violas. You have a lot of high added note string chords and you will get a better blend with violins and violas.The first cello part or sometimes the second is fairly high and will stick out of the textures. You often leave the bass fairly unsupported and I would have put more cello/bass doubling. I understand that there is a need to accomodate 4-5 note chords but often you have 5 string parts above middle C with the bass dangling down the bottom.
Finally with some of your string sforzandos at the start and then at the end third movement, I would double notes and put chords into the vln and vla parts to give weight. Otherwise some of the high violin1 notes I assume are sforzandos will sound like squeaks.
