"You have some pretty nice things going on... though if you have a score it would help in giving more specific feedback. I liked the way the 2nd theme comes in with full grandeur. Very good contrast with the lightly-scored 1st theme.
It sounded like…"

"Impressive piece Daniel. Both themes are great and very well contrasted. Its very exciting to listen to - a very effective piece. The only suggestion I have is to extend the ending a bit more. Draw it out and expand the big chordal theme more to…"
"Glad I could help!"
"I listened to your changes and I like that very much ! I'll see if I can develop those chords throughout the piece...
Thank you for your invested time !"

"P.S. Just noticed that you originally scored this for string section / string quintet. I'm wondering if it might be more effective in this medium than on two pianos. Perhaps you might want to consider importing this original scoring into your…"
"I'm at work now, so I'll have to listen to your piece again later, following along the lead sheet.
I had guessed that the "out-of-place" chord may have been intentional. I totally understand the intent behind that. I'll have to look more carefully…"
