Critiques, dissatisfactions are welcome. Have at it!
I just discovered this sub-reddit. And, I love your piece. - Words fail me now, but it's simply beautiful! And, delightfully playful.
This piece is beautiful. I like how you utilize the celeste and you seem very aware of the tendencies of the clarinet and you work with them, not against them. I do think that the notation could be clearer though, especially in the slower sections. Playing slow septuplet 32nd notes can understandably look terribly confusing, and especially since the bulk of this work is so slow I don't see how making the quarter note your core unit of measure (especially in the first and last sections) instead of the eighth note would ruin the character and it would get rid of some beams and make it a bit more intuitive.
