Hi @UrKr,

Thx for your comment!

There wasn't a single moment where I thought "get on with it" -- nothing seemed to overstay its welcome. I really love the busy textures where individual ideas still manage to come through and play very nicely with the others. 

Yeah I love having ideas appearing simultaneously without disturbing each other, just like in polyphonic music.

Really nice contrasts and transitions. I think a piece being "disorganised" (which I don't really detect here) is much better than being obviously organised (to the listener). 

Yeah looks like I worry too much! I write boring pieces before too since I take too much care on coherence. It’s hard to write with less conspicuous structure but the effect is different.

around 7:47 from measure 153, I think that would really come through nicely in a live performance since string players know how to make an effective diminuendo with tone vibrato etc. The playback didn't really seem to want to do it 🙂  

🤪 But I am grateful to have this recording! It sounds good to me, even though of course it will be better when played by real musicians.

Yeah, it sounds good overall! I'm just always on the lookout for what a live musician would do differently.
