It was wonderful to hear a fully orchestrated piece as a submission for this jam. This piece seems to pay homage to Hisaishi's work in a way that feels inspired more-so than copied, so props to you for that!

While following your score, I noticed a great usage of dynamics in each of the instruments that really adds depth and expressiveness for each of the instruments that I don't always see from people that submit their work straight from music notation software. This is great to see!

The main critique that I have is that, on a couple occasions, the piano seems to play a significant amount of notes in a way that would be very difficult for a live pianist to perform (mostly occurring at the end of the 6/4 section). Not that that's necessarily your goal, but in my opinion the idea of "less is more" in those measures could help add some clarity to this section. Especially considering that you appear to be doubling the piano's left hand with one of the bass stringed parts - having it doubled with another of that instrument instead of with the piano could help free up both hands of the pianist instead of relying on just one to play that part in higher register. Hopefully that makes sense.

Thanks a ton for sharing, and keep up the good work :)
