You did understand that the music has a specific programme, right?

The only way to lengthen the 3rd movement would be to lengthen each of the initial sections. I had considered this at one point, but feel that it meets the requirements of the programme at this length in this form. Altering the form by adding what you call a "b section" would undo the form and alter the programmatic intent (by the way, adding a section would make it an "f section", seeing as it already has a, b, c, d, and e sections!).

The next movement (the 2nd adagio) will ALSO be relatively short.

The final movement, will be longer.

I also needed to look at the over-all length of the work as a consideration.

Thank-you for taking time to listen to my work.

In musical criticism, when issues of craft and technical consideration are set aside, what remains is more subjective. However, until technical issues are dealt with, the subjective portion bears considerably less weight.
