Hello Fred,

Funky Tonk has a quick ending that might be interpreted as making the piece too short, but I find the ending quite convincing and decisive. It leaves the piece briefy ringing in the ears after it has stopped, so that the mind needs a second to catch up and agree with piece that, oh yeah, this piece has told me clearly that it's done. I wouldn't want every piece to end that way, but when a piece does it convincingly, as Funky Tonk does, it takes on a distinct, crisp character at the end. I like the ending.

Cheers
