i liked it realy good

This was very pretty. and I'm only guessing here, but you don't play brass instruments do you? I find the parts sufficiently well written in regards to playability however, they aren't very engaging for the individual players. This is simply my opinion, and it's not meant as a suggestion for you to change anything in THIS piece, it's just a sort of heads up, if you will, for future reference.

yep, ur right, i don't play brass. lol your comment made me smile though...this piece was written as part of a 'miniature suite' (the very name stirrs a horrble feeling), and basically the brass quintet i wrote it for called it as a whole unplayable. they put it down to its length and its eccentricity in the context of the entire concert they were doin that evening (tho even after seriously editing and well..dumbing it down they still managed to play it fairly badly, though this movement-tho still unbearable-was a fair success). so thanks for your comment!! (wo ho my first technical pointer..ooh the excitement...) yet this section had its particular focus on the main trumpet line. :toothygrin:

I can definitely sympathize with ensembles poorly performing a personal composition. It's a fair bet that the bulk of musicians you'll encounter will butcher your work if left to their own devices...*sigh*...lol
