This is incredible! Great melody, great harmony, excellent use of the instruments. Wonderful track structure with big emotional parts which really hit you right in the feels. :) The only thing I noticed, was the bass at 0:37 which sounds a bit unpleasant in my ears (maybe my headphones are just broken..). Overall: Amazing job!

Thanks for the review! I'm looking for as much feedback as I can before re-uploading it here + releasing it on Bandcamp, so this definitely helps!
I really like the emotional appeal of this one. The piano melodies are beautiful, and you did a great job with the string swells at around :47. It was a little sudden when the instrumentation almost completely changed at :28, but it still sounded pretty smooth because the same melody was playing on either side of the transition. The orchestration here is a highlight at the end of the day, especially towards the end of the piece when it adds so much variety and flavor to the track. The outro with the piano is just the icing on the cake, too. Love the string drones and full-circle compositional approach here. Lovely work, CS! ^_^

Thanks a ton! :D
The idea I was going for was to present the melody plainly in the beginning and then have it blossom like a flower with the orchestration (Hence the cello melody + viola countermelody at 0:28 before everything else slowly fills up the space). The orchestration was definitely the main focus while I was working on it and I'm glad you enjoyed that aspect of it!
Thanks again for the great review!
