Looks pretty good.  Some things:

-Do you want to put in those lower octaves on beat 1 of bar 1/3 etc?  I think that would make sense.  Also some of the other places later on might be good for octaves, like 32+.
-I understand omitting the Eb drone elsewhere but bars 8-9 feel kind of empty without it, particularly bar 9.
-I'm not sure about the restrike in the melody in bar 37.  I'm hearing something more like this:

-I don't hear the G# on beat 3.5 of bar 39 in the left hand.
-Just checking as to whether you thought about courtesies on the G#s in bar 39/41, although I'm happy either way.

I wanted the texture toward the beginning to be thinner/more exposed, so I purposely left out the bass part there. In m32+, I also wanted a lighter texture, though more expansive than before.

I clearly hear the flute rearticulating on beat 3.5, as well as the piano playing F on beat 3.

Got all these

I still don't hear it.  I guess the next updater can double-check it for me.  Otherwise, I'll approve.

Looking good! A couple of things:
- m. 28: How about adding in the Bb (chord) to the chord? It sounds a bit empty without it
- The right side of the key signature at the end is a bit close to the end barline

Definitely with Libera on this one, I hear the lower F# from the piano on beat 3.5 but the melody sounds like a quarter note.

[Static]

I'm still really not hearing a quarter note. There's a clear break there where the flute and piano (an octave lower) play F# on beats 3 and 3.5. Maybe this file with it playing an octave lower would make it easier to hear.

Edit: Other changes are fixed now, forgot to upload the files

[Latios212]

I'll trust your judgement on that then - I can hear it a little bit now that I'm listening for it.

Will accept
