Nice composition. The cello and the flute are quite something. What are the soundfonts that you are using ? They are so lively. The first mechanical instruments of the exposition are very interesting. Brings another meaning to "airhead"
"Squirrelrace" by Dmitry Golubovsky, the piece that played after, is also quite good.
Here's one that I haven't posted publicly as I intend to do spend more time on it. Please DO NOT put a like on it as it will be removed soon !
EDIT - Sorry that was not the right link. Soundcloud has special links for private files. Here it is. I will put this one in public although I will work on it a bit more before doing so:

Jonetsu, thanks for comment!
Cello sample from Fluid-sf2-bank, flute - dualtone - Fluid-bank+Ixox flute, and I record on tracks data of midi-controllers: modulate, expression. Plugins - eq, compression. Exist good step: buy classical flute and cello

I love go to classical concerts, on photo concert for cello solo, Bach, suite №6, in Lutheran church, and in last decade listen orchestra with conductor Fabio Mastrandgelo in Estonian church

Dmitry Golubovsky - I like too, nice track "November Rose".
Interesting track on link, fantastical atmosphere, peculiar sounds

Hello,
The concert piece was great. People should not applaude so fast at the end. There should be silence.
Maybe I should listen to classical music from time to time.
Where did you get the sf2 file(s) from ? I'm, not familiar with sf2 so "Fluid-sf2-bank" does not mean much to me.
The background for "November Rose" is the book by Kathrin Stengel on death ?
If I would buy a flute and cello and start playing, I would scare people. I will try to sing before that.

Oh come on, given enough practice, you can sound wonderful on cello or flute.

Folderol, thank you!
Jonetsu, people in the concert applaud as they see fit, they sat silently and quietly throughout the play, swept by a powerful sound stream, in our century of vanity this is a feat, and therefore their irrepressible energy is looking for a way out, for example in applause, they do not need to be restrained if they want, they are living people, not cosmic fairies
If you work on Ubuntu/Debian-like system you can get Fluid R3 soundfont bank from repository, find in Synaptic "fluid-soundfont-gm" and "fluid-soundfont-gs", install it, find location where system put it, and plug this bank to core of
QSynth, or
Fluidsynth in Calf host. Also you can download from page:
https://sourceforge.net/p/fluidsynth/wiki/SoundFont/
There are so lot samples, that drown in them

You can start with the concrete above bank and master it. Search to the sample branches on this forum
https://www.linuxmusicians.com/viewforum.php?f=50
and on KRV, as exemple
https://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewforu ... a140f7e3fb
Than search other sample formats - GIG and SFZ. Nice sample lib in sfz - Sonatina Symphonic Orchestra, also exist sf2-version of this lib:
https://musescore.org/en/node/267362
I just dounload it, but not test it. SFZ version very good.
Cheers!
PS Yesterday on children concert piece for flute at Lermontov Library
