Nice! The way the instruments play off each other is very cool and you have an interesting theme which is recapitulated well.

Is it possible to see the score? I don't have a notation program for preparing good scores. Sorry 'bout that. Thanks for having a listen. Regards,

I really liked this! I'm not a trained composer so maybe I shouldn't even be in this forum (  ) and I can't really talk technique. Still, I love the interplay of the instruments and can imagine what the real thing would sound like. Play by a real quartet would really make this. Any chance of an updated real-life recording? And is it composed for anything in particular?

I can't afford two live violinists, one human violist and one cellist dude.  I composed it simply for the joy of composing. Thanks for listening and commenting. Regards,

What I was curious about this one in particular was the choice of F major and a flats signature for strings.
