I have small hands compared to other cello players. so if it works for me, it works for most other cellists. Just keep in mind that sometimes 8v double stops with one open string are harder to do if all the other double stops around it don't need open string. Jumps in octaves are also harder, but a good cellist should be able to pull it off. (studies in octaves in scale patterns or arpeggios are usually a staple for any good cellist) (Currently trying to compose pieces for college admissions. My cello experience consists having three teachers with years of time between first and second teacher and the last teacher is a violinist)

The first version is definitely my favorite just due to it's clarity. The echo effect also makes this piece sound like it has a swing to it even though I don't think you are swinging playback. The beat is really nice, and consistent, despite the unusual time signatures you are using. At around 40 seconds in, I like how you completely change the mood by breaking up the rhythm here. The arpeggios at this point are haunting, and gives me anxiety. It's starting to sound like the use of microtones are really starting to shape (or warp) how the music as we know sounds. It feels like we are entering a second dimension of music, something not possible to create with the equal temperament tuning system. I think you are starting to get the hang of this type of composition. Congrats for creating a piece that will freak us all out, and it's not even Halloween yet!
