First of all, A Walk in the Woods for flute, clarinet, violin and cello. Just curious what you make of it.
And then there's a piano piece of mine, Farewell. I just want to know your opinions.
Any critique is welcome!

Amazing work. Both pieces are incredibly interesting from the very first second to the last! Loved your harmonies, always changing and modulating. Farewell reminded me of some of John Williams' pianos from E.T. But in a really original and somewhat misterious way.
And A walk in the woods is well composed in so many levels! Everything is coherent, the instruments are presented in an interesting way; the phrases and rythms repeat themselves to the exact point where we can remember them when they appear in a different fashion later; and the harmony is just pure gold! Loved your style, Lara!
Both pieces very well written with a great sense of style and development. You have also found your own musical voice in these impressionistic and delicate harmonies. Keep up the great work.
When you talk about dissonance and bum notes, are you referring to the 4th measure, 2nd and 3rd beats?

And Ray, thanks for all your compliments!
love both these pieces - you're a very talented lady! it sounded like birdsong to me in your walk in the woods. A bit reminiscent of Richard Rodney Bennett's Bird's Lament.
