Hey,

Wow! This is a really awesome piece you have here. I love your use of all the intstruments. Everyone gets the melody at some point and gets an interesting part. I think you could shorten it a little, especially near the end. A little less here will be better. Overall though, this is a really awesome piece. The double stops are all playable, being a string player, and it's all quite easy to play, with a bit of practice. One note though, be careful where you put your pizz and arco markings. I somehow doubt you want that first bass note to be pizz, or a couple other spots where you get arco then pizz, or the other way around.

But very good! thanks for posting!

@Heckelphone: Thanks for your feedback:) I actually took care to make sure that this is actually playable on strings (I often have a tendency to overuse double stops, being a piano player myself, and I lose track sometimes). You're right about the pizz/arco markings, that first bass note is indeed supposed to be pizz; I should really be more thorough with checking these things through.

No problem.

This is indeed a cool piece. I like how you double some of the pizzicato cello notes with the CB. It really adds to nice jazzy rhythmical texture. I am not sure whether to agree with Graham on the length of the recap. I think as it is, it works very fine too. I did not think the repeat was too literal. The ostinate rhythm could be slightly varied upon though. Maybe that will solve Heckles little problem?

Fresh!
