Thank you everyone for the comments!
flint-wwrr: In the future, I will probably try to write less difficult stuff for woodwinds (I'm a brass player, what do I know?
). Sometimes it's hard to balance what I hear in my head with what is actually practical!
firsty_ferret: Would it help if I transposed it up a half or whole step? Or would that present too many difficult fingerings?
Seraphim: Thanks for the kind words! I'll try to develop the themes in the middle section. This has always been a problem with my music, but especially now. I often come up with 5 or 6 ideas that I think are cool and put them all into a piece, rather than just choose 2 or 3 of the best ones and develop them so that they really shine. Oh, just out of curiosity, are you a flautist?
