Somehow reminds me of Joe Hisaishi soundtracks...

Petter,

I really liked this!   ;D   There are parts of it that sound like the salon music of 19th C., then there are parts quite definitely modern.  I liked the continuous flow that persisted throughout. 

Made a Liszt. Need new Handel's for Soler panel & Alkan foil. Will Faure Stein on the way to pick up Mendels' sohn. Josquin get Wolfgangs Schu with Clara. Gone Chopin, I'll be Bach
