Hi Oleg,

A few comments:

The flute/piccolo/whistle instrument doesn't add anything structurally. 
The piece is clearly focused on the guitar sounds, I think I'd like it 
better if the flute sound was replaced by another guitar part.

I wanted to hear some more significant crescendi. I think you could vary 
the surface of the piece by playing with dynamics more. (I was going to 
say "playing with dynamic curves" but I don't want to tempt my fellow 
LAUyers).

The individual parts are well-composed and nicely performed. Some more 
touches in the dynamics and balances might give it a little more 
intensity. Btw, I listened to it on headphones, perhaps my critique will 
change when I can play it on the main speakers here.

Best,
