Nice to hear a post from you again! This has more movement than is typical from you, I like it. The octave displacement in measure 21 (and maybe 22? haven't decided yet...) feels somewhat odd to my ear - I expected to hear it down an octave after all the good work you'd done establishing that pattern. I'm not violinist, but some of the double stops may be tricky. Liked listening to it, thanks for sharing! Gustav

Bravo......just listening to it.....I only know how to play guitar(a beginning guitar class) so Im not qualified to answer technicalities

OMG IT SOUNDS LIKE MARIO JESUS, but I looooove how happy and carefree it sounds!!! but yeah the wak wak its too much but I would not remove all of it.. i would just put it there on the rhythm just a liiiitle bit .. just like 4 wak waks between 2-4 bars.. use it on the crucial parts.. just to give it a nice ambient kinda silly tone

It’s nice to win things and it doesn’t happen that often to be blasé about it, so I’m very happy for the win! It was never assured in any case. I am also happy that the two remaining contestants, Gustav and Noah, kept up their end of the bargain and produced fine works of their own. I wish the others had done so, but they did not. It would have for a more interesting competition. Similarly, I wished there was more than one judge. It’s really not fair to the competitors, and especially to Monarcheon, to have to shoulder the burden alone. But she did and I’m very thankful to her as well. I can’t quibble with the scoring. I agree with most of her appraisals, from concept to execution to presentation. I got such a late start, which is a little uncharacteristic for me. I like to think that I would have mitigated some of the problems with more time. But as Judge Judy is fond of saying, Coulda woulda shoulda. Thanks, YC's
