Dave, thank you very much for your opinions and proposals. About "flute/piccolo/whistle instrument" - it was cheap made-in-china recorder and may be it was some lightweight for this piece, but I try to learn for play on this instrument and try to understand it's applicability in future pieces. About coda - ooh... You pretty right. I producing/performing this piece and anything else from December, 2007(personal troubles, life changes and so on) and I just feel done up. I must pass it on. How do You thinking I should to change "dynamics/balance"? 2009/11/1 Dave Phillips <dlphillips@xxxxxxxxxx>: > Oleg Ivanenko wrote: >> >> I've recently finished long-awaited(for me) instrumental composition >> (http://www.archive.org/download/IFlying/Ash_Ya_Lechu_I_Flying_986.mp3) >> and need your opinions about it.
