  1. You have the sound effects and the music in the same frequencies and fighting too much with each other. You could filter out some frequencies in the wind sound to alleviate your soundtrack, or move the melody an octave. The string sounds are too present and a bit flat when building the atmosphere. I would suggest to use your mod wheel more and build up and down their intensity. Also, you can have the low strings intertwining patterns (John William's style) to add movement without imposing rhythmic patterns. I like the way you have used lean orchestration and avoid overpowering epic sounds. You could add some ideas from Morricone pieces. Very interesting piece and a fresh approach.

  3. Austenite, I found the Sonata you posted in October 2018 by searching for ideas to embark into composing the first movement of a symphony. It is great, with fantastic bits of inspiration. The first and second movements have a great "Latin" early XX century flavor. The first one reminds me of the 2/2 Venezuelan "Joropos". The second one has that great Tango flavor that evolves without losing its flavor, and it seems to be calling for a wilder development to break molds. The third one reminds me of a Mazurka, and it is quite contrasting. My favorites are 3 and 1. 3 has so much potential for orchestration, I can almost hear already a very interesting series of alternating sections growing into "tuttis". ¡Pura Vida!
