it has potential

the harp and the string is really good and has a nice tune, but the chorus is very scratchy sounding. also the transition between the lighter sound to the cello is to harsh, going from a nice melody to pure silence then to a dark and sinister sounding cello piece. I can see what your trying to get at in making this song and i commend you for the effort, but the transition between these two contradictory elements is very delicate, and your song needs a lot of work. i would suggest that you smooth en out the transition between the two parts so that it isn't so harsh and flows more smoothly.

FatalShot responds:

Well this wasn't the final piece. I took the main theme from the first movement and the main theme from the second movement and spliced them together so I could upload it on here for the time being. It obviously doesn't really transition that abruptly. In reality, there is a key change, and a deaccelerando into a minor chord (in the new key of the next movement) the chord is sustained and then the percussion layers in at a new tempo, followed by more ornamental sounds, then the cello.

I should have probably uploaded them seperately, though neither were finished at the time. But thank you for the advice.
