Sounds good to my ears. I like the polyrhythm at 1:37, though the motives can be more varied. Would be good if there is a contrasting theme in the middle.
Just interested...what type of piece is this meant to be? And what software did you use the compose this?

To my yet unexperienced ears, this sounds amazing and perfect in every way! I loved it.

For some reason, it remembers me faintly of some violin piece I can't recall the name... were you inspired by some specific work?

I'm very curious, did you play the instruments separately and put them together (editing) or was that all made at once?

It made me think of Randy Edelman's "To the Stars", the theme from Dragonheart.
