I have to agree that the second half was slightly lacking (what it was lacking however, I'm not sure). Also, the second section (I forget the name) seemed to drag on a little bit, with all the repeating lines and what not. If I had written it I probably would have added some more melodic stuff in the bass instruments underneath all the upper woodwind chaos. But hey, it's your piece, not mine.

All in all, great job. There may be some orchestrational flaws, but I'm not one to be all nitpicky with the score analysis and whatnot. It sounds great as it is anyway.

Thanks CS!

I just wish I could get it performed live! That WOULD BE awesome!

YEs, I do agree that there is a tiny bit of a design flaw there (with refering to the fractal 100% and not leaving the piece to breathe at all, thus maybe draging a bit), but now what's done is done! It took SO long to finish that there's slim chances to retouch this, unless I have plenty of time and there is a good reason!

Other than that, if, by any chance, you're refering to QCCs comments about the score, they were very helpful! I'm all up for any comments to become better. I need it as well you know, as much as you and anybody! (does this sound a bit too much? Hope not... :S)
