This piece is very soloistic and very beautiful. I agree wholeheartedly that the mp3 doesn't do this piece justice. I like how you stick with the motif exemplified at 2:10 and constantly develop it until they reach a climax. Despite the non-classicism of the piece, I felt that this piece was extremely coherent (I usually find such pieces disorganized). The use of the cello was pretty idiomatic, though I wish you could have used the higher range and singing voice of the cello.

Overall, I thought it was excellent, especially with your handling of the motif.
