You interestingly shift between galant cliches (i.e. the do-re-mi schema as identified by Gjeridgen) and something more modern. I would be interested to hear about your approach to composition (e.g. your inspiration, conceptual approach)

Some constructive feedback:

• you should try to utilize better sound sets in the MuseScore environment. It sounds like a generic MIDI quality which detracts from listenability

• At the end of musical phrases, you quite often pause before the next one. You should try to connect phrases with the baseline that will essentially fuse together your ideas. For otherwise they sound detached and this detracts from the overall flow.

• Try to experiment beyond homophony. You have some conversational exchanges but is limited to static ideas moving in thirds against each other.

Thanks for sharing

Hello @Martynas123 and welcome to the forum!

The piece is nice and made up of cool musical ideas! The only thing is that it basically repeats the same ideas at different pitch levels over and over. Also, peeking at your score, I noticed that the Cello part goes all the way down to an Ab below the staff in bass clef which is impossible without scordatura tuning which is a highly unusual technique of tuning the lowest string lower than usual. Even if you used a scordatura tuning in this piece, the quadruple stop you have at the end of the piece seems impossible with that tuning. Thanks for sharing!
