Winter Winds - Piano Fantasy

[Iosonoilprologo]

Hi,

Thank you for your compliments to my composition! It's indeed quite satisfying to know that you took the time to listen to it and make such accurate comments. I initially started working on this composition several years back. I have always felt a fascination for the Winter season. Specially if you can watch the weather outside from within the comforts of a nice fire place and an enormous glass window! This setting has always been a source of inspiration for me. Initially as you very well point out, my first thoughts were to work this out in a Sonata format. So, bar 244 would be first bar of the Second Movement and bar 465 initially considered the Third Movement. Then I gave up on that and decided to share it the way it was. You are also right on the fact that some segments were improvised and then I would go back and polish them or expand them as a variation of a given theme or development of a particular phrase or phrases. I definitely will follow your advice on re-processing it through Music Composer to make the entire piece properly written so anyone else could play it. I would love to publish it now that I got my registration certificate from the US Library of Congress. Could you expand a little bit more on how I go about doing that?

Thank you so much!
