Thanks for the response! I have been in band/orchestra for the last 9 years and write music as a way to express my emotions. My overall goal was to capture the emotions I've felt from a temporary love I've experienced this summer. Overall I feel that it is sad but hopeful, at least that's how I interpret it, with an overall abrupt ending. It is short, just like my journey this summer. I felt that I tried to focus on making every part worth it's weight, but it seems it didn't come across that way. I've been working on reading other's musics and continue to do so on this musical journey I am on.

I have finished my third string quartet. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
