this is a monster piece.  probably a monster to record the first part, too.  once it got out of the bass - i could hear what you were doing.  it takes a lot of time to learn it well, and the soft melodic parts (to control them as you hear them in your head).  good job.  the piece keeps growing on you - but you have to keep practicing it.  i let this one slip out of my fingers after i performed it.  it would be nice to still have it.

you really race around in that middle section.  wow.  fast fingers!
