Yes I second Daniel'd assessment - this is more a first draft for a cello solo. With all the repeats and the very consistent rhythmns it seems at times a bit too much like an exercise for broken chords. By the way, the last chord would be great as triple stop.
Get an orchestration book from the library and explore the double and triple stops. That and your opening are good material for much further exploration. I do like the transposition from c minor to a minor -- a nice harmonic twist but looking at the score I agree w/ MD the transition needs work.
Lastly, consult with a cellist and you can bring this as a "sketch" for ideas you are exploring -- go to a local music school and offer to pay for their time - in cash or another way (sans illegal ways) -- to try out your stuff. I did that when I wanted to do further work on my clarinet variations and as a result i developed a good performer contact who likes the piece --in part because performers love to contribute in the compositional process (weel most of them).
