This was a lovely piece! The choice of instruments was excellent and the music progressed and developed nicely.
I would probably agree with others in that I'm not entirely sure how this fits the theme in terms of this piece's overall vibe (I could just be dense lol). I understand how the term 'molt' can mean to start fresh and begin new life, but I think the connection between that and the theme could use just a little more context either in the music or in a comment, IMO.
The other thing I wanted to mention is that I would've liked to have heard the tail of the instruments trail off a bit more instead of cutting off rather abruptly at the end, especially since there's no limits on the length of the submission. It might sound a bit more natural that way.
Thanks for sharing this, and keep up the good work :)
