Howdy MG,
Absolutely lovely!!!
I listened to it first while watching the file play, and you've done a wonderful job scoring it. Then I listened again with my eyes closed, and (being blessed with a really nice soundfont), thoroughly enjoyed it that way as well, perhaps even more because the sonic qualities were more evident without the visual component vying for brain attention. We used to have season tickets to the symphony (B.C. - before children), and I would often just sit and let the music sort of "wash over" me - I did that with this piece as well. A most fulfilling experience. Except I wanted it to go on and on
The interplay of instruments does provide contrast, as well as the movement of the piece as a whole. I could envision the pianist as having a very good time, moving from sometimes a pensive to a sometimes playful mood.
Did I mention I really like this?
ttfn,
Sherry
