This is my first ever chamber work. I am trying to gain experience in writing for strings hence I decided to compose a string quartet. Constructive feedback is always welcome! Edit: I posted another audio with different soundfont and after correcting some issues.

Thanks a ton for willing to spend the time to give such a detailed feedback. Some of the above stated problems I had already fixed. The places with low registers in MM.31 are meant to be played louder. I thought it was obvious because the passage the violin is playing is a direct derivative of the main theme appearing at the start of the exposition hence I think players would instinctively accent it and treat the other voices as accompaniment. I believe a lot of these phrasing issues (not all) arise because of the limited capacity to modify midi data. For examples the trills and the sforzandos sound unpleasant and too confusing as it is impossible to phrase them properly by just using soundfonts. However I do acknowledge that there were quite an amount of passages lacking balance between the voices and the instruments and not to say that the exposition was too busy and unintelligible. I also had to do some fixing due to contrapuntal and voice leading issues. Thanks again for your time!:)

Quite lovely and sentimental - the "waltz" reminds me very much of works by Prokofiev (Cinderella) and Shostakovich (waltz no. 2). I really liked the bass ... rather than a cello with its extra warmth and depth. Mark
