Beautiful piece, but I thought that the strings sounded a little brittle and could use a lot more warmth. A song like this should wrap the listener in a warm embrace...

Lovely. I like a lot of things about this piece, including much of the orchestral accompaniment. But I also agree with Dan -- the strings are a kind of harsh. I would suggest trying for a more delicate sound and a warmer tone.

Thanks for the input. That was done 4 or 5 years. It was my first attempt at orchestration. The strings are from Dim Pro orchestra expansion pack. When I have free time I will try to replace the strings with Kirk Hunter Diamond Orchestra or IK Philharmonic 2. This one titled Lost in the mist is KHDO strings. https://etherealpiano.ban...track/lost-in-the-mist
