Review my 3-mvt classical piece?
Hey guys, this is a new piece I just finished in FL Studio. I was searching for a soundfont in order to make it sound better, so I hope this is okay.
Thanks!

Thanks for your feedback! Yeah, the first movement is kind of off...
The first movement felt a little off. At one point it felt like the melody was being undermined by the background music. You can have the other instruments doing a lot in the background, but they shouldn't compete with the melody. I'd like to hear some more 16th notes (assuming you're using 8ths and quarters) in the first movement as well, that's just me though. Make it longer, gradually shift to higher/lower octaves and play with major and minor mix-ups too just to add some flavor.
Second movement is pretty, the beginning sounds alot like Pachebel's Canon. I wish you'd have done more with that, or segwayed more cleanly into the meat of the 2nd movement. Other than that I liked the 2nd movement a lot, expecially when the cello's overtake the melody for a little bit.
Skimmed over a lil, couldn't find where the 3rd movement starts. Generally that's the quick/upbeat movement in the composition, but if you can pull of another slowish movement i'd say go for it. Make the shift from the 2nd movement to the third more clear. Other than that, I liked it.
Overall good piece, this must've taken you ages.
