If this is an arrangement, which piece did you arrange it from? Can you post a link?

With respect to this on its own, I actually really liked this piece. The chord structure and harmonies fit well with each respective instrument, but there were some points where it felt a little dry to me, such as right after it changes keys to A major. I feel like the solo should hold over a long tone, or one of the other instruments could bridge the gap between the solo statement and the chords in the next measure. As it is, it still sounds wonderful, but almost a little sudden.

Honestly, I'm being very picky here, and overall, this piece is well constructed and arranged. I look forward to seeing/hearing some other works from you. Thank you for joining Young Composers!
