A Piece For Strings - Please Send me Feedback!

I have recently finished this piece and would appreciate some feedback on it. I'm trying to decide whether or not I should add another middle section or if it is too repetitive so if you could leave me some suggestions that would be great! Thanks!

midi please then i can help

it rare to hear something "Catchy" like this

very nice done.

Thank you. Do you know how to turn a Finale file into a midi file? I know how to turn it into a wav file, but not a midi file.

It might be worth downloading Finale Notepad. It allows you to listen to .mus files, which a lot of the compositions are written in this format.

You can download it (free) from here.

Hi,
I like it. The second section is very good, although I'm not 100% about the glissando's in the cello part. Maybe it's just me.
I haven't been composing for a long time, and so I'm sometimes incorrect about things like that, but for me, a slight change in the cello part with no glissando's, and you're deffinatley onto something!
Welcome to YC by the way, I see you're our newest member

Thanks for the feedback! The string ensemble at my school is reading this piece for me right now and I could go either way with the glissandos - it sounds good sometimes, depending on how the cellist plays it. Thanks again!

Yeah, I'm sure it does depend on the cellist themselves, maybe it's just finale itself...

I just added a MIDI file - I didn't know how to create one from Finale before, so for those of you willing to critique I would be happy to have some feedback. Thanks!

very nice piece! the chord at 2:30 made my heart drop, interesting and unique way of using the strings. overall nice job!
