Here's the FINAL final draft of this piece. (Let me know if this format is easier to digest than my normal MO of MP3 + PDF!)

Congrats dude. Hopefully you've found the forum helpful in finishing this one up. I'm excited to hear more of your stuff 🙂

A great piece. It is emotional, with a piano that is not too complicated but enriched by the strings.
It would be nice to put the instruments on the staves at the beginning, although it is obvious when it starts to sound...
The video format is very good especially when it is well edited, as in this case. The pdf is better when you are interested in analyzing something or parts in detail. I think they complement each other.

My only observation is that the strings have a rather “passive” role almost always, as harmonic support or doubling some melodic line of the piano. In the G part, for example, there is some sketch of independence of the strings.

Yes the intent was for the strings to be an accompanying role, while also having some small moments of independence, where the story being told is able to be heard through different voices, giving the imagery of multiple people uttering it. 
 

also, I agree with you on the instrument labeling. However, this video was rendered using MuseScore’s “Send to YouTube” function where their website creates the video for you and gives you a download link or the option to upload it directly to YouTube so unless I screen recorded it then edited and published it myself, that’s just the way it wants to be 😅 however at the time I didn’t have any spare time to sit and wait for it to play thru, only for my audio to do “the thing” that it likes to do at the end of the piece 🤦🏼‍♂️ 

 

so I just did it the easy way. 
 

if it’s easier for most other users as well, I’ll stick to the MP3 + pdf upload from now on lol

Yes, I understand the intent of the strings. Perhaps, in a case like this, where they have a predominantly harmonic support role, I would have opted for fewer lines (here there are five in the strings if I'm not mistaken).  But it's a choice, of course. I seem to recall Rautavaara doing something similar in the Piano Concerto No. 3, and it's fascinating.

That musescore function is very handy, the program I use (which I'm very used to, doesn't do it and I have to put the videos together myself).

I usually put here the two versions, the video-youtube version, and the pdf with mp3. If I don't upload the video, then only pdf + mp3. Everything is fine.
