Well, that was certainly a very good instrumental! It looks like you put a fair bit of time into it, the piano and violin section correlated beautifully! I really did like it!
Although that said, there are some changes that could be made to make it better, nothing major, as I said, I liked it, but some ideas for next time:
1: At the beginning, when you have the single progression of notes, it feels like too much of an intro and the drums (or possibly some simple chords) should have come in around the first rise of the notes instead of the second, because it feels like a letdown for the few seconds that the drums are not there, it makes those few seconds feel empty or not enough "going on" as it were.
2: It felt too "front and center", especially with the violin section around 2:30, it felt too powerful, and a little stereo seperation and volume reduction would help, you got it better when it rejoined with the piano, still felt a little too harsh at points and could stand the same points as before, but to a lesser degree.
3: When the second piano notes begin at around 1:10, it feels a little overpowering, and makes it hard to hear the background piano, almost impossible at times. It feels like you're incorporating the second piano to help the first piano, but at the current volume, it feels slightly overpowering, and slight volume reduction would probably solve the problem.
Again, these are mainly nitpickey things, because overall, you made a good instrumental track! I would defintely keep making them! It is really good, just if there is a common theme with my critque is this: Reduce volume, and some stereo seperation will go a long way!
I love making music, but I don't have a genre I stick to. I just want to make music, so if you want to hit me up for a collab, go right ahead!
