I don't know much about the library, this piece is my first use of it. I 
tried to employ the samples for their strengths, limiting the played 
ranges and avoiding any special articulations or ornamentation. The loop 
points are audible, though again I tried to make a virtue of the defect 
during the sustained sections (using the loop points as phrase markers). 
Mind, I'm a complete amateur at using samples in the modern way (i.e. 
with articulation files), so this is a rather primitive demonstration, 
performance-wise.

I'll try using some of the library's other sounds, maybe another piece 
will come from more experimentation.

Thanks for lending your ears ! :)

Best,
