Hi Goldy

I like melancholic soothing dreaming like this. Some cool seventh chords. I don't know if you noticed but at 3.32 there is one particular cute little chord I like, I put it in loop for a while

Thanks for your response, Wolfi.

I listened to that chord. I didn't know I had any seventh chords in it!

Hi goldentone,

I just listened to your Reverie and enjoyed it. The reverie definitely captures scenes and reactions drifting through the mind, bringing changes in tone, dynamic, intensity, harmony, and mood. I notice that you "keep the bass moving and changing" too, as the composers like to say. At the very end, I liked how you changed the sense of tonality on that very last note--unexpected!

Congratulations on your first improvisation. Nice job!
