I like how committed to the original melodic cell the piece is. And it’s very nice how it opens to a major tonality by the end. Maybe the main theme could have been quoted more at the very end, but an excellent piece as is. Brilliant work and wonderful composition. Accordingly, this has achieved a top spot among this year’s instrumental finalists. Congratulations on a job well done!”.
