Thanks for listening Allen. Much appreciated....I was just itching to add some accordion but that would have disqualified it....Derek

Thanks Bob. Yea, I saw that scene. I also got inspired by a clip of John Williams conducting an orchestra with a fantastic violinist playing "Por Una Cabeza" An amazing clip if you get a chance to see it.......Thanks Mazz. Much appreciated.Derek

Congrats and thanks for sharing, Derek! Considering that there were no feedback from Taxi, this really helps me to understand why my piece wasn't forwarded. Now I see that I've made a "strategic mistake" by choosing a tango string quartet setup, as opposed to symphonic strings...For next time, I should go by: "If in doubt, go big." Out of curiosity, how long did it take you to program this piece with all articulations? I've spent several hours for 1 minute of music, and there is still to be done (to my ears) using Miroslav CE.Cheers,George
