Hi Larry
I found the listing text. While the screener was wrong to say there were instruments beyond piano and strings, there were key clues in the listing and the ref tracks.
TAXI Tip: We suggest trying to keep your submissions on the simpler side, melodically. Your job is more about establishing an uplifting mood rather than winning "Composer of the Year"!
This was further emphasized by the first reference track:
https://youtu.be/CU7hbcuqev4 . Your track is quite nice but pretty intense in the middle on the strings and much more melodic with them.
PS: In the future, please post the listing text, not just the listing number. Otherwise folks here who are trying to be helpful have to go hunt it down.
Keep on writing! Write, Submit, Forget, Repeat.

UPLIFTING PIANO & STRINGS INSTRUMENTALS and/or INSTRUMENTAL CUES are needed by a NEW International Music Licensing Company started by highly experienced, successful founders!
TAXI TIP: This is a hot new Library that's BRAND NEW to requesting music through TAXI, so chances are you don’t have any material in their catalog yet! This company is all about "new, fresh music," so this is a great opportunity to get in first and create a new outlet for your music and begin a new relationship with an awesome new company!
This Company is searching for Instrumentals and/or Instrumental Cues in the general ballpark of these references:
"Just A Little Hope" by Adi Goldstein
"Far Away" by Elena Fallwell
"Awatere" by Ensemble Rivr Dane
Please submit well-composed Instrumentals (or Cues) that feature Piano and Strings as their only instrumentation to create an overall positive, uplifting vibe and sound. Your submissions should have captivating melodies, solid arrangements, and excellent musicianship. If you plan on using any virtual instruments, they need to be high-quality, modern, and sound like the real thing as nothing stiff or obviously MIDI-driven will work, here. Your production should be polished and contemporary, as well.
